Christopher Cowan

Christopher Cowan is the Deputy Clerk to the Houses of Parliament in Jamaica, responsible for assisting in the administration of parliamentary proceedings. Recently, he was mentioned in the news due to the controversial decision by Parliament management to appoint a junior parliamentary counsel, Ashleigh Ximines, to act as Clerk to the Houses during the absence of the current Clerk, Colleen Lowe. This decision has raised concerns among staff, as it bypasses the customary protocol of promoting the deputy clerk to assume the clerk's duties, leading to a tense atmosphere at Gordon House.
