Maria Rodriguez Tapped as Next Auditor General

A panel of three, including Cabinet Secretary Stuart Leslie, Financial Secretary Joseph Waight, and C.E.O. Rolando Zetina, has recommended Maria Rodriguez for the role of the next auditor general. On Tuesday, Cab Sec Leslie shared this recommendation with the cabinet. Next, it will be presented to the House of Representatives, the upper house, and the Governor General for approval.

 

Prime Minister John Briceño

“Yes, we went through the process, we advertised it and three persons applied.  We had the Cabinet Secretary, the Financial Secretary and the CEO for the Public Service that did the interview process.  Each one of them was interviewed extensively and the Cabinet Secretary informed Cabinet yesterday that they will be recommending the lady, Maria Rodriguez.  They will be recommending her to take over the post of the auditor general.  Obviously that has to be something that has to be approved by the legislature so at the next house meeting we’re going to present it and hope and expect that they will accept the recommendation that has been made.  From there it goes to the senate and then the Governor General.”
