Minister for the Marine (Mr. Andrews)

I am in the process of appointing a partnership programme manager to facilitate the implementation of the Programme for a Partnership Government. I am satisfied that the person under consideration for appointment is suitable having regard to his previous experience in the areas of administration, management and communications. Details of his contract and remuneration have not yet been finalised.
