A major shake-up is on the cards at the TA Marryshow Community College (TAMCC) in Tanteen, St. George's. Informed sources told GRENADA that the Acting Principal, Lincoln Morgan, as well as two Lecturers, Roderick Griffith and Desmond La Touche are the targets.

According to a well-placed source, the move against the trio could be politically motivated based on a recent decision taken by the college to offer a top job to someone known to be associated with the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

The source who asked not to be named said that Morgan, La Touche and Griffith had interviewed former Clerk of Parliament, Basil Harford for a soon-to-be-created post and had recommended him for the job.

Harford is currently employed at a law firm in St. George's involving three top executive members of the Congress party. The source said the Ministry of Education headed by Claris Charles got wind of the impending appointment and made the move against the three top officials at the college.

He spoke of a decision taken at the ministry level to reassign the trio at TAMCC without any consultation with the body governing the day-to-day operations of the higher learning institution on the island. The source said that the Chairperson of the group, former President of the Public Workers Union (PWU), Luret Clarkson handed in her resignation in protest at the manner in which the Ministry of Education was handling the matter.

When contacted for comment, Clarkson said that too many things "were flying around the place" at the moment and agreed to make a pronouncement sometime next week.
