And we also asked about the Ministry of Transport's legal advisor, Dervin Sambula, a former police officer and magistrate. According to the CEO, he did not choose him but nevertheless he complements the Ministry:
Chester Williams, CEO - Ministry of Transport
"Mr. Sambula comes with a wealth of knowledge and experience. Having served in the Police Department for many years, rose to the rank of assistant superintendent. He was a legal advisor at the Police Department as well, and his years of experience as police and his legal training is something that really and truly complements us at the ministry and certainly the Department of Transport. We are grateful to have him as a part of our staff. He is very much active out there with the officers. He's not a person who stays in office, he's out there making sure that he provides legal guidance to the officers as they perform their duties."

"And is there any specific reason why he was chosen?"
Chester Williams, CEO - Ministry of Transport
"He applied, and let me make it clear, I did not choose him. Mr. Sambula was chosen by the Judicial and Legal Services Commission. As you would know, he's a legal officer. It's not the CEO who decides who is a legal officer in any ministry. That goes to the Judicial and Legal Services Commission after having applied, and they decide if they're hiring a person and where to put that person."
