Fit for the job

The Government has rejected suggestions that there is a link between Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness’ claim last week that some public-sector personnel may be seeking to sabotage government programmes and the reassignment days later of former Financial Secretary Darlene Morrison.

During yesterday’s post-Cabinet press briefing at Jamaica House in St Andrew, Information Minister Dr Dana Morris Dixon sought to allay public concerns surrounding Morrison’s transfer after The Gleaner asked whether there was any connection between the two developments.

“I wouldn’t think that,” she said, adding that the prime minister had exercised his constitutional authority when he transferred Morrison from the Ministry of Finance and the Public Service to the newly established Ministry of Mining and Geology.
