ROBERT Bryan, the man who steered the country’s involvement in the recently concluded 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup, is heading back to his old job as executive director of the government-run Social Development Commission.

Bryan, who is currently the chairman of the SDC, previously served as the commission’s executive director between 1999 and 2005, but resigned in that year to take up a similar position with the Jamaica Local Organising Committee (LOC) for the Cricket World Cup, which was held in the Caribbean for the first time.

Bryan told the Observer yesterday that he will return to the SDC when his contract with the LOC ends on June 30.

A press report in March said Bryan was being courted to fill the seat as chairman of the state-owned garbage collection company, National Solid Waste Management Authority (NSWMA), where he was a board member for a short period in 2005.

Bryan and the rest of the NSWMA board resigned that same year following meetings with then Minister of Local Government Portia Simpson Miller, amid allegations of corruption at the agency.

However, despite confirming his planned return to the SDC, Bryan told the Observer that any occupational decision he makes would be dependent on a few things.

“I am always open to good offers. I would serve wherever I am convinced there is a commitment to change,” Bryan said.

Daniel Wilson has been acting as executive director of the SDC since Bryan’s resignation in 2005.
