Former United Progressive Party (UPP) Senator Damani Tabor has been appointed as the new Communications Specialist within the Ministry of Works.

The announcement was made by Director General of Communications in the Prime Minister’s Office, Maurice Merchant, during Wednesday’s Post-Cabinet Press Briefing.

Merchant explained that Cabinet had considered the need to strengthen communication both within the Ministry of Works and between its partner agencies, as well as with the general public. As a result, Cabinet approved Tabor’s appointment with immediate effect.

“He will be working with the Ministry of Works in the field of communication. Cabinet approved that immediately,” Merchant stated.

In other updates, Works Minister Maria Browne briefed Cabinet on ongoing road rehabilitation and construction projects. She reported that work is progressing steadily and should gain further momentum with the return to full operations at the hot mix plant.
