Lois Young Barrow Picked as New SSB Chairman

In July 2004, when 7NEWS reported that Social Security was using your money to pay Glenn Godfrey’s bills, it was the first chip to fall for the Musa administration. G-7 unfolded weeks after that, the unrest in 20905, and the rest is history. And we only give that brief recap to underscore how important it is that Social Security Board be prudently and transparently managed.

That’s why Minister of Finance Dean Barrow has picked a tandem of reputable women to manage it. Reports say that Merlene Bailey Martinez will be the CEO and Lois Young Barrow will be the Chairman. No date has been set for the first meeting of the board as the names of other members are still being finalized.
