Finance Minister Davendranath Tancoo says the “positive transformation” promised by the Government is now taking shape, with staffing changes expected across several State organisations as they work toward achieving the “best fit for purpose.”
Tancoo made the comment yesterday in response to questions regarding the sudden dismissal of Navin Dookeran as chief executive officer of the Export Import Bank of Trinidad and Tobago (Eximbank).
Dookeran, who served as CEO for six and a half years, was terminated on Friday. He confirmed the development in a brief statement yesterday, saying, “I am proud of what we accomplished during my tenure, and I wish the best for the institution and the country.”
Dookeran is the son of former Central Bank governor and former finance minister Winston Dookeran.
While Tancoo did not provide details on the circumstances surrounding the dismissal, he noted that changes in leadership across State entities are part of a broader effort to modernise operations and improve national performance.
Further updates on the transition at Eximbank are expected in the coming days.
