Financial Secretary Simon Wilson, who was placed on leave under the Minnis administration, has returned to his position at the Ministry of Finance, Guardian Business can confirm.

In a September 18 email to staff, Acting Financial Secretary Marlon Johnson advised Ministry of Finance employees of Wilson’s return. 

Wilson told Guardian Business yesterday that he visited Johnson on Friday.

During that visit, Wilson said he was told that he would have to secure a letter of appointment to return to his position as financial secretary.

Wilson, however, was mum on his return. 

In his email, Johnson wrote, “This note is to advise that Mr. Simon Wilson has returned off of leave and has resumed his substantive position as financial secretary.

“He and I are presently working through the transition to ensure a smooth handover. However, all matters requiring the attention or input of the financial secretary may now be sent to him.

“Do kindly extend to him the same incredible support and professionalism that you have extended to me during my time acting in the chair.”

Wilson was placed on a leave of absence and replaced by Johnson four months after the Free National Movement won the 2017 general election.
