Dominica has a new Director of Audit and the first ever female to hold the post.
Maylina Matthew Jno Ville, who was acting in that post since the retirement of Clarence Christian in November 2015, has been appointed.
She is a 1986 graduate of the Convent High School (CHS) and holds a Certificate in Public Administration from the University of the West Indies and a B.Sc (Hons) Degree in Management Studies from the University of the West Indies.
Jno Ville has been employed since August 1993 when she first worked with the Ministry of Communications, Works and Housing and was placed at the General Post Office for four months. She then moved to the administrative sections of the Ministry where she served in various capacities.
According to her, during her tenure at the Ministry of Communications, Works and Housing she served short stints of six months and three months at the President’s Office during the presidency of Mr. Vernon L. Shaw and Establishment, Training and Personnel Departments, respectively.
“It has always been my aspiration that one day I would assume a leadership position within the Public Service…I am very pleased, honoured and humbled to be appointed in the position of Director of Audit. I however did not anticipate it to be that soon,” she said.
According to her, she is always guided by the quote: “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them”.
“There have been frequent acknowledgments of my commitment and outstanding performance by the Heads of Departments whom I worked with and in 2002 one such acknowledgment,” she said.
Jno Ville is the recipient of the Public Service Award in 2002 for being the most outstanding Junior Officer.
After working in various departments within the Housing Ministry, she was transferred on promotion to the Audit Department in January of 2009.
She is currently pursuing Masters in Accounting and Finance with London School of International Business, due to be completed this year.
Check and see if socii and randi did any work for the checks they received fram de govyment. Som ah dem an payroll and work no way.
But I don’t understand… “She is currently pursuing Masters in Accounting and Finance with London School of International Business, due to be completed this year.”
So she gets appointed to the position but doesn’t yet have the relevant qualifications
a B.Sc (Hons) Degree in Management Studies from the University of the West Indies…. doesn’t make one a qualified auditor.
Dominica and the Public Service going down the same way … to the bottom level!
What is the public service coming to? Congrats to Mr. Christian hand picked successor. An Admistratvie Assistant is now the Director of Audit. Skerrit was right when he said Dominica is not a country… Its a Labour Party cess pool.
making history and I know you are intelligent enough to have this office and I can\’t wait to see how well you help develop this country
awww so proud of you maymay.congratulations
Congratulations!! Maymay, those years at Convent High School really paid off; well deserved.
A HUGE (as Trump would say), congratulations to you Mrs JnoVille for this very important appointment. I wish you lots of success in your new role. Stay focus, ignore the negative comments (as you cannot please everyone) and most importantly, remember keep God first in all you do.
Hats off to you my friend.
Congrats Maylina JnoVille. Endless power to you. Continue to Do good..
Wow, What a great improvement from the last Director of Audit. Congrats Mrs Jno Ville on your great achievement. God bless you.
Just show me that you can do better than your predecessor,who was more a Skerrit apologist than a Director of Audit!!!!
Congratulations, always a serious and positive woman..
Maylina has been a dedicated employee and we should all wish her continued blessings in this position. Dominica is fortunate to have people like her willing to step up and serve. Her continued motivation to educate herself serves as added inspiration to all. Her family should be very proud of her accomplishments. Go Girl power.
Great accomplishment Maymay. Now it’s your turn to make things happen in this department.
Jah guide. More strength and blessings
Beautiful lady!
Congrats. Do you best. Continue to pray and ask for guidance.
Lovely young lady. Job well done!
This lady Will do a great job in the audit department. A solid replacement for Christian. She is smart and confident and will do well.
Wow, this is just awesome news. I love to see people work hard and get their just reward. Congrats Mrs JnoVille. Well deserved appointment.
Job well done. I knew that someday you wiould makes us proud. Wise women come from the East. So proud!
Congratulations are in order Mrs JnoVille. I think we Dominican women should be extremely proud of this achievement for our female counterpart. Way to go. You are also beautiful.
Congratulations May May. God is with you ! Be positive and continue to work hard, without fear or favor. Be honest, open and frank. Remain focused. We have FS who is a woman for years now, and she is doing an excellent job. Try on her shoes and keep your head high. From our tiny communities of Morne Jaune and Grand Fond, we are with you all the way.
Congrats Mrs JnoVille. Having worked with you for a number of years I knew that very soon you would attain this position. I always admired your work ethics and your ability to analyse documents. You will definitely shine in this role.
Great news Maylina, I have already congratulated you. Having worked with you for over 8 years I’m confident that you will bring great credibility and competence to our department. Much blessings.
Congratulations Mrs Jno Ville. Having worked with you previously I’m confident that you have the ability to excel in your new role. Your excellent Management style and your keen ability to meticulously access details make you very suitable for this job. I look forward to working closely with you in the department. All the best!
Congrats to you. You look very pleasant indeed.
Congratulations to you!!
Congratulations woman power, all the best in your new position. Make us great again with accountability, and transparency. Long live Dominica.
Have nothing personal against the person,but there is a host of more suitably qualified and competent persons in the public service who could have been appointed to the position.I guess been a “nice girl” and “politics” trump everything else
She’s not just a “nice girl”. She’s smart, experienced and knows the job. I have worked with her and know her strengths.
Don’t be fooled, as she looks MUCH younger than she is. She holds a relevant degree and has over twenty years of experience.
What relevant degree? She has a degree in administration. Does that make her a qualified Accountant or Auditor. She’s nothing but a secretary handpicked by Mr. Christian and the Labour party cabal.
Congrats my dear friend. I will. All u in ur office tomorrow. Always know you would reach the top. I know u have what it takes. Tell ms Robin I said hey ok.
Congratulations and stay professional
Madam, I do not know you but I wish you well, congrats.
CONGRATS MAYMAY!!!
Congratulations to you Maylina. I know you will continue to serve well. Give thanks to God!
Go my alumni sister. Congrats!
This is a very humble, competent and extremely hard working young lady! Always with a pleasant smile. Congratulations Mrs Jno Ville! Well deserved appointment!!
Congratulations are in order. Well done.
Congratulations to you my dear friend and former coworker I remembered the day that you first entered the into the offices of the Caravan and your dedication towards your job,i expected this was in the making..
My daughter Alana and I wish you the very best in your future endeavors.
Once again congratulations for s well deserved promotion
That Christian fella so badly contaminated the audit department that I don’t think I can trust anyone working with this Skerrit.
Well, I’ll be damned! DNO, you must be …… me! May-may is Director of Audit! I am not questioning her abilities; it’s just that she is junior in qualification, age, tenure, experience, content, expertise, etc., to masses of qualified career public officers. This is an open slap-in-the-face to many, many people. The ball is in her court now to prove that she was the better choice for the job.
Frank Talker thought you “not questioning her abilities; ” BUT YOU JUST DID!!!!!! Are you a flip flopper hater??? For your information May-May has been flawlessly acting in the position so in terms of experience she got it!!!!
May-May go ahead do your ting with distinction and ignore the HATERZ they are always there, they just won’t go away!!!!!
Sometimes this is exactly what the powers that be wants. Someone whom they know is not capable of doing the work. It was the same with the former director.
I hope May may will be different. I noted that she has a degree in management. hmmm
Congratulations Mam.
Grateful if Director of Audit Reports for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2015 and 2016 would be produced at the earliest.
..many more highly qualified people for the post…why was this never advertised…sometimes it’s good to look outside especially for fields like audit. When one gets too comfortable or has been groomed in advance, then they tend to skim over details; lets hope the appropriate and sufficient evidence will be gathered and due diligence will be applied.
happypeople you have no clue of the role of the DOA….
Nice to see young persons growing in the ranks. Congrats on the appointment and all the best.
Congratulations to you!!
However, I need to comment:
Been acting for more than a year & still did not anticipate the appointment to be that soon?
what does that say about the establishment dept in Dominica?
