A new Board of Directors has been appointed to the State-owned National Communications Network.
The new Board, which will commence work on May 21, and will run for one year, will be headed by Enrico Woolford.
The announcement was made on Thursday by Minister of State, Joseph Harmon at the weekly post-Cabinet press briefing.
Other directors include Beverly Alert, Margaret Lawrence, Gordon Moseley, Michael Leonard, Kamal Persaud and Dane Gobin.
Harmon said he expected the new Board to put new policies in place that would see improvements at the entity.
“I would expect that the new Board would look at policies and the guidelines that they would receive with respect to ensuring that the entity operates, provides information to the Guyanese public. That the information is timely, accurate and it is something that the Guyanese public can look forward to”.
Harmon, however, reminded that the Board was not the management of the entity and that policies put forward would not in every way influence the day-to-day management of the news agency.
The appointment of the new Board comes less than four months after former Board Chairman Bish Panday handed in his letter of resignation.
