Carlton Davis's Appointment to Head NHT

Carlton Davis's appointment to head NHT, along with the newly elected board members, show that there is no intention of the Jamaican government to fix the problems that exist under the leadership of Easton Douglas. This appointment indicates that corruption and mismanagement of tax payers money will continue. Furthermore, placing Davis in that position shows a recycling of persons who have done their time in public service and need to now step aside. But, holding on to power in Jamaica is sought by many whose big egos will not allow them to be out of the public eye. There are so many upcoming younger Jamaican leaders who have continuously proven their abilities to be successful at whatever ventures they undertake. It is time to give those Jamaicans a chance in leading and becoming a part of these boards if there is any intentions to change corrupt practices.

Dr. Errol Morrison and Easton Douglas - Irresponsible Appointment Gone Wrong

The ongoing UTech problems are not surprising.  It was just a matter of time for Dr. Errol Morrison's ineffective leadership to become intolerable. Dr. Morrison is a physician and well known locally for his specialty in addressing diabetes issues. However, when his name was announced in 2007 to assume the responsibility as president of a learning institution, there was skepticism on his knowledge and ability to lead such a prominent university. This is just one of the many leadership appointments that are given based on politics and friendship to people who simple have no knowledge or experience to successfully do a good job outside of their comfort zone. Instead, they have to rely on the knowledge of experts who eventually get tired of being used and not getting any recognition. With time on the hands of inexperienced appointees, their idle minds lead to no good. So, quite often, an autocratic leadership style along with illegal and deceptive practices will occur, as in the case of UTech.

Easton Douglas ..............he made his intentions clear during his CVM interview on the program, "Direct" with Garfield Burford, when he defiantly argued that as the Managing Director for NHT's board of Directors, he must  have an office in the NHT building to oversee the day-to-day operations of the institution??!!  So far four prominent, well-respected  board members have resigned, and this lack of confidence demonstrates Douglas's inability to lead the board. If he cannot lead a board, then his desire to be the CEO of the institution would certainly present a problem. But, in a desire for power, it is difficult to see such shortcomings.
