I WOULD like to take this opportunity to congratulate Mr. Keith Burrowes on his appointment as Presidential Advisor on Financial Matters. In making the announcement, Dr. Roger Luncheon, Head of the Presidential Secretariat, described Mr. Burrowes as “a man of many talents”, and I would like to add a true patriot and highly competent in all the different hats he wears. This extraordinary individual will be a valuable addition to the team advising the President.
I have followed his work and writings over the years and would describe most of it as brilliant, innovative and practical. It is hoped that Mr. Burrowes could persuade the President to implement some of the ideas he has been writing about; it would be disappointing if he does not.

While this is not a lobbying position, I believe that the Government may want to consider appointing him as a Minister.

It has been brought to my attention that his board fees from the several institutions on which he sits go back to the staff. While this new appointment is not a salaried position and it is an honorable thing to donate his board fees to staff welfare within the organization, I believe he should consider donating the money to an established charity or trust fund to contribute and support the causes and ideals in which he believes.
