Ministry promotes from internal department
(CNS): Leticia Goring has been promoted to assistant chief officer in the Ministry of Border Control, Labour and Culture (MBCLC) following what officials said was a “rigorous recruitment process, which included comprehensive assessments and presentations”. Goring beat out a pool of highly qualified candidates from both the public and private sectors. However, Goring had the edge when it came to experience, having served as the assistant director in the Department of Labour and Pensions (DLP) for the past eight years.
In her new job, which she started on 8 October, she will support the chief officer and the deputy COs and have key responsibilities in project management, strategic planning, audit reports, and matters presented to the Cabinet. She will also offer policy advice on labour, immigration, public safety and national security issues while also contributing effectively to various operational tasks within the ministry.
Chief Officer Wesley Howell welcomed Goring to the post. “The ministry is confident that Mrs Goring’s extensive background in public service and her proven track record in leadership will significantly enhance the ministry’s mission to ensure national security and border integrity,” he said.
Goring has an MBA and is a member of the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), a Mental Health First Aider and is CPR/First Aid trained. During her time at the DLP, she was honoured as the CIG Employee of the Month and Chief Officer’s Choice for the month of October 2017 under the Deputy Governor’s Award Programme.

More promotions than Quakers have Oats yet government corruption increases yet government ineptness and incompetence increases yet nepotism and favoritism is the flavor of the day and the wholesale employment now of foreign usurpers and criminals now encouraged by senior leadership is both a travesty of justice and a one the single main issue causing the Caymanian people to distrust and to have absolutely no confidence in Government especially the employment of those from jurisdictions where political and government corruption is compulsory and a way of life.
“Rigorous recruitment process blah blah” has become rather like Franz’s “world class civil service”, namely a cringeworthy expression bringing out cynicism about the civil service. This comment is in no way to say that this young lady did not deserve her appointment; she very likely did and congratulations to her. My suggestion is to leave out the BS statements that convince no one and just announce the appointment.
Congrats Leticia. You have worked hard and have shown great patience and tremendous growth throughout your career. You are more than an asset for the Ministry and more than ready for this new role. You have always been a great example of integrity and strong focus on customer service. God bless you and your family as you continue your civil service journey!
