Patrick Martinborough, has died.
Announcing his passing, the Office of the Leader of the Opposition said yesterday that Martinborough served from 1988 to 2007 before retiring for the entity.

The release said that Martinborough will always be remembered for his strong support for the PPP/C Government’s “successful efforts to transform the financial sector, particularly budgetary control and fiscal considerations during the early years of economic recovery in Guyana”.
He will also be remembered for his leadership qualities of “integrity, humility, servility and loyalty in public office, inspiring generations of NIS staffer”.
Condolences were expressed to Mr. Martinborough’s family and friends.
