Minister of Human Services and Social Security Dr Vindhya Persaud on Wednesday confirmed that Ann Greene is no longer director of the Childcare and Protection Agency (CPA).
When asked the question by Stabroek News on the sidelines of the National Toshaos Conference, Persaud responded in the affirmative. However, when she was asked about the new director, the minister said that she could not discuss the issue further because “nothing is finalised.”
Meanwhile, efforts to contact Greene have so far proved futile but sources have informed that she has not been in her office since July 1, and that someone else has been introduced as the possible new head of the agency. It is not clear why Greene, who has been in the public service for more than 50 years, opted not to renew her contract, but according to sources she had been hinting for some time that it was time for her to leave.
