David Roberts has re­signed from the post of Chief Ex­ec­u­tive Of­fi­cer at state-owned Trinidad and To­ba­go Tele­vi­sion (TTT) and he has moved on to a pub­lic ser­vice job.

This was con­firmed af­ter Roberts re­signed on Tues­day, of­fi­cials said.

He had been TTT's CEO for ap­prox­i­mate­ly two and a half years, it's un­der­stood.

Sources said Roberts has gone on to a pub­lic ser­vice job in a sec­tion of the Of­fice of the Prime Min­is­ter (OPM). Roberts didn't an­swer calls yes­ter­day.

It has been con­firmed that some­one will be ap­point­ed to act as TTT's CEO un­til a re­cruit­ment process for the post is done and some­one is ap­point­ed as CEO per­ma­nent­ly.

Up to Wednes­day, per­sons at TTT an­swer­ing the phone were still de­scrib­ing Roberts as the sta­tion's CEO.

The post of TTT CEO was pre­vi­ous­ly held by Lisa Wick­ham and al­so at an­oth­er point, by Wen­dell Con­stan­tine.

There was no re­ply yes­ter­day from Gov­ern­ment of­fi­cials on what Roberts' du­ties at the OPM's (Com­mu­ni­ca­tions) sec­tion are. How­ev­er, sources said it is a se­nior po­si­tion.
