THE permanent secretary for Communications and Information Technology, Ewan Perrin, has “left the Government”.
Public Service Commission chairman Vishnu Mohan announced this via a government statement issued by the Department of Information yesterday.
With no explanation offered in the two-line statement, Mr Mohan said Mr Perrin’s duties would be assumed with immediate effect, in an acting capacity, by Solicitor- General Sharvada Sharma.
Attempts to obtain a comment from Mr Perrin last night proved futile and it is understood that he left the country yesterday.
Mr Perrin’s appointment, along with four other permanent secretaries, was announced in January this year — appointments which Mr Mohan had said were made following an extensive process of advertising and rigorous interviews and scrutiny.
