Questions persist on how Ferreira-Dougall appointed at Region Three

More than two months after questions were first raised as to how a former PNC MP, Jennifer Ferreira-Dougall, 63, came to be appointed as the Deputy Regional Executive Officer (DREO) of Region Three, no information has been provided by the Public Service Commission (PSC) confirming that the post was advertised as should be the case.

Ferreira-Dougall’s hiring at Region Three has raised concerns in the context of charges that the APMU+AFC administration has been handing out jobs arbitrarily to persons associated with the former PNC government and those allied to it.

With Ferreira-Dougall being past the age of retirement, her hiring also underlines the point that qualified persons within the system are not being allowed upward mobility.
