Kai de Castro lands job at Ports Authority; ‘Daddy’ is Chairman
Mr de Castro’s friend Kion Leonard was also a part of the verdict and the two men were fined $2k and given a two-year suspended sentence. This resulted in Mr de Castro losing his job as a teacher at the Elmore Stoutt High School.
New job at Ports
However, this week our news room was flooded with calls from the BVI Ports Authority staff telling us that Mr Kai de Castro, who is the son of the BVI Ports Authority Chairman J. Edward de Castro, has landed a job at the Ports Authority as a dock master and commenced work on Monday of this week.
The sources claimed that he only got the job because his father allegedly asked them at the Ports “to find something for him to do”.
It is unclear if the post was advertised to give other Virgin Islanders like the 27 year old Mr Kai de Castro the opportunity to apply.
Locals have the right to work
It is also important to note that Kai de Castro is a Virgin Islander who has the right to work in his country, however, the issue at hand is whether he was given special privilege and access to a job because his father is the Chairman of the BVI Ports Authority Board.
When contacted today, February 4, 2015, Managing Director of the BVI Ports Authority Claude O. Skelton Cline said that he did not know anything about the young man being employed there and that he would have to check with his Human Resource Department for verification. Asked whether we could call him back, Skelton Cline said, “No. Don’t call me back on that. I don’t deal with that. Once I verify with HR, I will tell HR whether or not we release the names of employees who work at Ports Authority.”
Efforts to reach Chairman of the Ports Authority Board J. Edward de Castro were unsuccessful. However, BVIPA Public Relations Office April T. Glasgow confirmed that Kai de Castro "has joined the BVIPA team as a Dockmaster."
