#TurksandCaicos, January 25, 2023 – As the country approaches the two-year mark of the PNP Government’s tenure, at least one hot-button issue is beginning to be addressed; the government’s culture of quiet on pressing issues.

“We are making progress in setting up the government’s communications director; we have some new hires and we will have additional people in place so we can continue to improve the quality and timeliness of the information we bring to you,” Premier Washington Misick said in a press conference on January 16th.

The PNP-led government has been fiercely criticised in the past especially, during the tumultuous year of 2022, for waiting weeks to comment on pressing issues in the country ranging from crime and citizen safety to inflation. It has been notoriously difficult to get statements and statistics from the government as well.

It’s a recurring issue which Misick says they are now actively trying to put an end to. A new Deputy Director of Communications in the person of Kimo Tynes​ has already been hired and the Premier’s office has begun regular releases of a bulletin available on their Facebook page.

“We made a commitment to come to you with our press statements at least once every fortnight, as we have tremendous life changes happenings in these islands.” he maintained.
