The Reverend Al Miller was officially told on Thursday by the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture that they have appointed a new Institute of Sports (INSPORTS) chairman.

The new board, which we understand will be chaired by Ian Forbes, is also expected to take effect on Monday with its first meeting.

Miller was once again in the news earlier this week after turning up for an INPSORTS sports officers meeting on Monday before being asked by executive director Ian Andrews to explain the capacity in which he was present.

The clergyman then maintained that as far as he was aware, he was still chairman of the state-run agency, underlining that he had not received any communication of a change.

Permanent secretary of the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture, Robert Martin, had confirmed that an investigation into the incident is impending, but also pointed out that a new board was in place, with an announcement on the horizon.

"This will be a matter for the disciplinary committee of the board. Neither the permanent secretary nor the minister has authority in this matter," said Miller earlier this week.

"The Cabinet has given approval for the appointment of a new board. The members have been nominated by the minister," Martin added before explaining the procedures involved.

"The appointment will take effect when the instruments of appointment are prepared and distributed to all the members of the new board, and the previous members thanked for their service. The instruments are being prepared and will be distributed in duecourse. The press and the country will be informed immediately that this is done," Martin noted.
