Newly appointed Acting Deputy Auditor General, Gary Peters, was officially sworn in on Monday before acting President Nigel de Freitas in a ceremony at the Office of the President.
The position has been held by Jaiwantie Ramdass.
A statement from the Office of the President said, “After graduating from Mc Gill University in Montreal, Mr Peters began in 1991 what was to be 33 years’ experience in the public sector.
“After five years as a labour relations officer in the Ministry of Labour, he joined the Auditor General’s Department and by 2013 had worked his way up to be Assistant Auditor General, a position he still holds.
“His Excellency congratulated Mr Peters and wished him every success in the new position,” the statement concluded.
Ramdass has been at loggerheads with Finance Minister Colm Imbert for refusing to accept further documents submitted late by the ministry for her audit of the 2023 Public Accounts.
