PHILIPSBURG--There are conflicting reports about the appointment of new members of the Supervisory Board of Windward Islands Airways International Winair.
Shareholder Representative of the company Prime Minister (PM) Sarah Wescot-Williams, head of the ad-hoc committee to overlook affairs at Winair Michael Ferrier and Corporate Governance Council (CGC) Chairman Louis Duzanson all had different status updates regarding potential new members of the board.
Wescot-Williams said at the weekly Council of Ministers press briefing Wednesday that members of the board "have been nominated and appointed." She added that she didn't have the names at hand, but "they have been sent on to the Corporate Governance Council." Ferrier had indicated on Tuesday that government was awaiting the advice of the CGC before moving ahead.
However, Duzanson gave a different account when contacted. He said the CGC was not in possession of any names of potential candidates for the Winair board and was not in the process of issuing any advice to the Shareholder Representative.
He also explained that the PM had stated in a letter dated April 6, "Due to unforeseen circumstances, the three persons that were proposed as the new supervisory board members have retracted their availability. We will inform you in due course about new candidates and for now we kindly ask you to await further communication from me before issuing an advice."
The CGC has not had any further correspondence from Wescot-Williams regarding the Winair board or potential candidates for the said board since receiving that letter, Duzanson said. He declined to comment on her statement that board members had been nominated and appointed.
Wescot-Williams could not be reached by press time for clarification.
