Premier surprised Martins, Drummond, & Montoya still on payroll
Posted Tue, Feb 2nd 2010, 18:31(Grand Cayman - CITN) -
Former education ministry secretary Angela Martins, former health ministry chief officer Diane Montoya and ex-deputy financial secretary Deborah Drummond are three former high-ranking civil servants still getting paid big bucks.
Deputy Governor Donovan Ebanks confirms the three are still receiving pay at Government’s grade C scale, which means they would normally earn between $127,000 and $147,000 per year.
The women were released from their jobs last year following the May general election. Premier McKeeva Bush says he surprised they're still being paid.
