KINGSTON, Jamaica — The contract for embattled administrative director of the Institute of Sports (INSPORTS), Ian Andrews, has been terminated according to an advisory from the Ministry of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport.

In a release today, the ministry said it has been notified that “the Board (of INSPORTS) has terminated the contract of employment of Ian Andrews as pursuant to the terms and conditions of his contract” and that he has been paid all his entitlements.

Andrews in February accused the agency’s board directorate of victimisation in addition to earlier charges of “inappropriate behaviour” regarding implementation of “policies and procedures”.

“I honestly believe I am being victimised simply because I did not follow the inappropriate instruction of the board to hire two retirees without the requisite approval from the Ministry of Finance and Public Service,” Andrews said in a memo to INSPORTS staff members earlier this year.
