(Trinidad Guardian) A senior official of the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) on Tuesday confirmed that the president of the regional development finance institution, Dr Hyginus “Gene” Leon, is the subject of an administrative process.

Responding to a question from Guardian Media at a virtual news conference in Bridgetown, Barbados yesterday, the CDB’s acting president, Isaac Solomon, said: “I can confirm that there is an ongoing, internal administrative process involving the president.

“The Bank is extremely focused on preserving the independence, confidentiality and integrity of the process and, as you can well appreciate, in order for us to maintain the integrity and confidentiality of the process, we are unable to provide any further details.”
