St. George’s Grenada - Government has said that recent changes to the Board of Directors of the Housing Authority of Grenada (HAG) are in keeping with its commitment to providing adequate housing and a well-managed housing system for all nationals.
“Housing is a priority for us and we are taking it seriously,’’ said Hon. Alleyne Walker, Minister of Housing, Lands and Community Development. “It is against this background that Cabinet has appointed three new members to the Board of Directors of the Housing Authority.’’
Among the three is newly appointed HAG Chairman Basil Harford, a retired teacher, broadcaster and veteran public servant who once served as Clerk of Parliament.
Mr. Harford replaces Pastor Stanford Simon, who has been reassigned to the Sandino Complex Development Project in St. George South.
Another new appointee is trade unionist and political activist Colin Francis. He takes the place of the ailing Edzel Thomas on the HAG Board, while Bernard Alexander fills in the third position by replacing Henroy Davis.
Other Board members include Mrs. Glenna Knights, Acting Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Housing, Lands and Community Development. She is Deputy Chair of the Board.
The rest of the HAG Board of Directors is Ms. Judy Williams, Mrs. Shanta Cox, Mr. Bartholomew Baptiste, Mr. Elphrege Philip and Mr. Teddy St. Louis.
The term of currently constituted HAG Board of Directors expires on February 1, 2011.
