For the second time in three months the government is looking to replace a recently appointed head of a state agency.
The RJR News Centre has confirmed that former Solicitor General Michael Hylton has quit as the Chairman of the Board of the Financial Services Commission.
Mr. Hylton was appointed by Finance Minister Audley Shaw after the Jamaica Labour Party was elected to form the government.
But three months into the job he has written to Mr. Shaw indicating he cannot remain because of policy differences.
However, no details of the differences have been released.
Efforts to contact Mr. Hylton were unsuccessful as he is reportedly off the island.
Our News Centre also tried to contact Mr. Shaw but was told he was out of office.
Calls to his cellular telephones were unanswered.
