3 NWRHA officers quit

THE communications unit of the North West Regional Health Authority (NWRHA) has been effectively shut down following the resignations of its corporate communications manager, Lenore Joseph and public relations administrative assistant, Bridget Pamponette.

The resignations of the two which takes effect from today comes on the heels of the resignation of communications specialist, Sookram Ali, who handed in his resignation letter at the end of January. Joseph and Pamponette handed in their letters on February 10, giving the NWRHA one month’s notice. Reliable sources also told Newsday that at least three more top-level management employees are expected to leave the NWRHA over what they said is continued interference from persons whom they accused of “micro managing”. NWRHA’s Chief Executive Officer Dr Lennard Jaggessar confirmed in a brief telephone interview that “at the moment we have no one there right now”. Newsday was informed that Joseph and Pamponette will be taking up positions with the National Housing Authority. Sources said Joseph has been hired as communications manager and Pamponette as her assistant. Ali was said to have gone “on his own”.
