But according to the Chief Transport Officer, Leon Gentle, the hiring process isn't even complete as yet as it has not yet been finalized by the Ministry of Public Service:

"The process has not even completed as yet. What happens is that when the vacancies went out, all members of the department were given an opportunity to apply for the different positions that we are looking for. We had open interviews for transport officers in the different districts. We had also open positions for assistant chief transport officer, which would be a regional commander for our department in looking at different zones to carry out the functions, to make sure that they carry out their functions under the department's mandate. Mr. Jhawn Gamboa was one of those applicants who applied for the assistant chief transport officer position. There were two applicants, and we have looked through the application, gone through the full interview process, and we believe that he is one of those persons who are fit for the position."

"What's the timeline? When would he be appointed if he is chosen?"
Leon Gentle, CTO
"Well, that's a decision for the Ministry of Public Service, who then would give us that approval, so we have to wait on their time."
Reporter
"Why did you all need a new deputy?"
Leon Gentle, CTO
"The staff is increasing. There's a number of positions that are now being opened, and we do need overall supervision for everybody. It's impossible for one deputy to be able to deal with the entire staff as it is. So our objective is to look at a deputy from an administrative standpoint and a deputy from an enforcement standpoint."
Reporter
"So would Mr. Williams still hold his title, or?"
Leon Gentle, CTO
"He is the deputy chief transport officer."
