A former member of staff from Government’s Department of Communication and Information, Mr Henagulph has also worked as a reporter for this newspaper.

Mr Henagulph drew flak in September 2013, after the DCI spokesman won top prize from the Spending and Government Efficiency Commission for his cost-cutting suggestions.

Asked for details on his new position, Mr Henagulph responded: “Anything pertaining to my clients is confidential and so I have no comment.”
