Tourism Director & Former B.T.B. Chair Under Investigation

Karen Bevans

Among those whose actions are under review is former Chairman Einer Gomez and Tourism Director Karen Bevans, who back in April of 2019, signed a five-year contract with the previous government to the tune of one point two million dollars.  Minister Anthony Mahler says that the probe should not be perceived as a witch-hunt on Bevans.

“Could this be grounds for the termination of not only Miss Bevans, but anybody else who sat as trustee?”

“Like I said, I will wait for legal advice. This is not a witch-hunt. This was brought to our attention by former pensioners. So people who were a part of the pension who were terminated over the last few months or last year or so, they brought it to our attention.”
