Hunt now on for new TIMB boss

THE hunt for a new Tobacco Industry Marketing Board (TIMB) chief executive officer (CEO) is now on after the post was advertised recently.

The majority of tobacco players are supporting an individual who will prop up the indigenous farmers that pushed for an increased production, NewsDay Weekender has gathered.

Some players believe that stability within the sector for the past three years under acting CEO Emmanuel Matsvaire is likely to continue if the land reform gains are not reversed.
