Another Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) official has been included in the latest list of persons appointed to head the Boards of major state-run entities.
The selection comes amidst criticism from some quarters of the Bruce Golding administration's continuing trend of appointing JLP bigwigs and supporters to chair Government agencies.
RJR News has been informed that Treasurer of the JLP, Christopher Bovell, is to take up the post of Chairman of the National Road Operating and Constructing Company, NROCC.
NROCC is responsible for the design, operation and maintenance of the multi-billion dollar Highway 2000 Project.
RJR News has been informed that Mr. Bovell's appointment has already been given the green-light by Cabinet.
His appointment comes a week after former JLP Senator and Spokeswoman on Commerce Shirley Williams was confirmed as Chairman of Air Jamaica.
In the meantime, our newsroom has received the names of three other appointees as Chairmen of major state entities.
Noel Hylton is to return as Chairman of the Port Authority of Jamaica.
St. James businessman Mark Hart has been asked to serve as Chairman of the Airports Authority of Jamaica (AAJ).
The new Chairman of the National Works Agency (NWA) is financial sector executive Richard Powell.
George Johnson has been selected to head the Board of the Transport Authority, while Peter Jarvis is the new Chairman of the Road Maintenance Programme.
Our news centre has been informed that Cabinet has approved the boards of other Government entities.
The details are expected to be announced at Tuesday morning's post Cabinet press briefing.
