May 23, 2016

CABINET on Thursday approved the reappointment of former attorney general Anthony Smart as chairman of the First Citizens Bank (FCB) board of directors.

The announcement was made at the post-Cabinet news conference by Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister Stuart Young.

The minister also disclosed the reappointment of Courtenay Williams to the board and that Williams would also be deputy chairman.

Noting the tenure of several directors was coming to an end on June 17, Young announced the appointments Indris Omadeen, Troy Garcia, Samuel Henry and Giselle McFarlane as new directors. He said they will serve in addition to the remaining members. Young, who is also Minister in the Ministry of the AG and Legal Affairs, said a successful forum on campaign finance legislation was held this week at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Port-of-Spain.

He said consultations with the Opposition and other stakeholders will soon commence on this legislation, which is one of the priorities on Government’s legislative agenda for the 2016- 2017 period.
