Global search to find experts for Dep’t of Energy – President

David Granger

With a limited number of petroleum experts here, government plans to embark on a global search for the best qualified personnel to staff the proposed Department of Energy (DoE), President David Granger says.

“We are conducting talks and we have a road map we have to identify personnel, we have to identify buildings we have to and start advertising to attach quality personnel that can lead this important department into the future. We are being very careful,” Granger told reporters yesterday at State House.

The President informed that he is very confident that by the 1st of May this year that there will be some announcement on staffing but that the preparatory work is being done by government to see this realized. He did not go into details on what structure the agency would have or what rules or regulations were followed for its setting up. It is unclear if it would be part of the Public Service.
