Acting Governor Timothy P. Villagomez said the administration has been having a hard time filling up the Commonwealth Utilities Corp.’s advisory board.
Villagomez said they are putting in names for the CUC board, but some of their nominees rejected the appointment.
“The Mayor of Tinian submitted a nomination and at the same time while we were doing together with the Public Utilities Commission…the PUC board as well. Some wanted to be in the PUC board, no one in the advisory board,” the acting governor told Saipan Tribune in an interview.
Villagomez said they have the names and everything and that they just hope that people are going to accept the position.
With respect to power privatization issue, he said the privatization committee had been meeting in the last couple of days.
“My understanding is that we are waiting for the passage of the amendments of the public utilities bill—PUC. Once the Senate acts on it I will sign it into law which will clarify some of the issues that is creating…great area in the privatization aspect of the [power] generation,” Villagomez pointed out.
