FORMER ministers in the ministry of finance Vasant Bharath and Mariano Browne have offered advice on the appointment of boards of directors of state and state interest companies after the April 28 general election.

The UNC won the election 26-13-2. The boards of these companies were appointed under the previous PNM government from September 7, 2015 to April 28.

They made their comments after statements made by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar on this topic at a post-cabinet news conference on May 29 and developments at some of these companies.
