Government has announced new boards for several agencies in the financial sector including the National Insurance Scheme (NIS) and Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA).
Auditor John Seeram replaces Dr. Surendra Persaud at the head of the NIS Board. He is joined by Deputy Chairperson General Manager Holly Greaves, Pamela Biggs, Sattie Sasenarine and Mervyn Williams as well as unnamed representatives from the Private Sector, Trade Union Congress, the Consultative Association of Guyanese Industry (CAGI) and the Ministry of Social Protection.
Persaud, who has held the post since 2015, had recently clashed with government after he announced massive toll increases in his position as Chairman of the Berbice Bridge Company Inc.
