From Checkpoint, 4:11 pm on 12 March 2024

The Chief Ombudsman is being forced to resign, he's too old for the job according an old law.

Peter Boshier will age out on his birthday later this week.

The almost 50 year old act governing the job demands he "shall so resign on attaining the age of 72 years."

How grown up is too grown up for the big jobs?
