The new contractor general must be able to balance facilitating growth and investment, while at the same time continue to minimise corruption.

Donald Reece, former Archbishop of Kingston

We need a pit bull kind of person in that office, who will hang on to something and not let go.

Carol Narcisse, chairperson for the Jamaica Civil Society Coalition

That person must continue the high standard of discharge of the legal authority that the office has, at the level and pace that has been set by Contractor General Greg Christie.

The new candidate needs to be someone that is fearless, incorruptible and who has the ability to command the respect of the Jamaican people.

Brian Pengelley, president of the Jamaica Manufacturers' Association

Transparency, collaboration and a clear outline of the process of selection and the way in which the office will operate will be critical.

The Reverend Karl Johnson, general secretary of the Jamaica Baptist Union

We need someone who will bring his own style to that post, who is courageous and bold without necessarily being confrontational.

Pastor Everett Brown, president of the Jamaica Union Conference of Seventh-Day Adventists

Greg Christie has set the bar and whoever comes after him ought to follow in his footsteps.
