Governor reappoints OPA’s Pai

Michael Pai’s tenure at the helm of the Office of the Public Auditor is expected to continue after Gov. Eloy S. Inos reappointed the public auditor for another six-year term yesterday.

“The reappointment signals governor’s commitment to efficiency and effective government services. With this appointment, Mr. Pai will be able to continue to perform financial audits and inspections on government processes and systems to mitigate areas of apparent and inherent risks and improve services as well as prevent waste, fraud, and abuse,” an email from Inos’ public information officer, Ivan Blanco, read.

The public auditor’s reappointment is contingent on the House of Representatives and Senate giving him the nod for a second six-year term at OPA.
