Hi Cindy, Minister Gray - who is now in charge of Local Government was here yesterday. One of the things he mentioned concerning the moving of administrators is that there were very few who were moved (or removed) because of politics. He further explained that the one's transferred due to politics came about because (using a specific instance) one administrator denied one party access to a park on which to conduct a rally. The administrator as a civil servant is not allowed to act with political favoritism. He noted that when you move one administrator it often causes the relocation of a number of others - in other words it's sort of like a domino effect. As for Mr. Benjamin Pinder he is no longer an administrator. My understanding, and I stand to be corrected, is that his contract was up and they chose to not renew it.
