That is not a lot of money for an electrical power plant manager.If this person has a degree in electrical engineering.He would be paid much more than $6,000.00 US per month in the USA.I would agree with you that Antiguans who are qualified for such a position.They should have first preference for those positions.Those jobs are like national security positions.This is not a UPP thing.It has been going on back in the days when ALP were in office.Hiring foreigners to fill high paying positions in government is nothing new.In Antigua it was and still is foreigners first.Antiguans you need to stop being passive and get out of your shells and take your country back.Take it back from the government and more so the foreigners.

Boss I don't know who you are but the one thing I can tell You is , I admire the fact that most of the times I read your blogs, you do your research before you spout off. I wish most persons would do so. it would make for better debate and reading. #justsaying

Lets see what obtains in Trinidad in the energy sector as of 2008:
Quote:

Persons working in the energy sector are paid two to four times more than their counterparts in other sectors... Heads of technical departments in oil and gas companies, according to a 2007-2008 compensation report, earn an average of $41,000 a month, while top executives earn at least $80,000... http://www.newsday.co.tt/sport/0,89379.html

Baldwin Spencer boasts about the nuber of scholarships his government provides, yet every job is given to an expatriate. If the salary I am hearing this guy will receive, EC$16,000 plus all the add ons, then this is crazy. That6 is US$5926.00 or TT$37000.00 per month. There is no where he would be making that in his homeland. Welcome to paradise and to the land where under the UPP, people first means Trinidadians. Join the list of the airport manager, LIAT and the rest. Under the UPP, with all the scholarships awarded, and all the education gained, Antiguans will remain hewers of wood and carriers of water. No wonder the others think we are fool fool.

I'm hearing through the grapevine that a Trinidadian will become the new Electricity Manager. Welcome Mr. Innis

If someone is acting manager and you are looking for a manager why not give that person the manager position since it's obvious they are familiar with the position. There are too much acting positions in Antigua. It's a land of actors it's worst then Hollywood.

APUA needs to do antiguans a favor and appoint a new board and GM.
