Kye M. Rymer In! Officer confirmed as DMV Boss
Mr. Rymer, an indigenous Virgin Islander and the son-in-law of local ‘shero’ and businesswoman Ms. Patsy Lake, will replace former DMV Head Lorna F. Christopher who retired over a year ago.
The DMV falls under the Ministry of Communications and Works and is located at Pockwood Pond on the western side of Tortola.
It was just in June of this year that Minister for Communications and Works Honourable Mark H. Vanterpool called for Mr. Rymer who holds a Bachelor’s Degree to be confirmed to his post.
It is unclear if that call had anything to do with his confirmation finalised last month by both the Public Service Commission and the Human Resources Department.
The DMV is responsible for licencing of all vehicles and issuing drivers’ licences in the Virgin Islands. Mr. Rymer has brought many new initiatives to his role even before he was confirmed.
He has instituted a test for overseas drivers to enhance road safety and was the brainchild behind the launching of the commemorative license plate for the 60th anniversary of Festival 2014, the plate now a source of pride for many.
Both Mr. Rymer and the Minister for Communications and Works could not be reached as of post time.
The Commissioner of Motor Vehicles is a government job with a level of grade 15 with a salary range; $51,069-$81,146.
