so, is Kathy Hughes' appointment a power play by the AFC Afros or a sop (Ministry with little clout) to them by Granger?
i'm simply not following u
Think what ever you wish. As if now we have no ministry for external trade, this being subordinated within the ministry of foreign affairs. We see numerous junior ministries in all sorts of exotic ministries, yet none within foreign affairs with a specific responsibility for exports.
Yet we have a stand along ministry of tourism. This when not more than 10k visitors to Guyana aren't there as overseas nationals, on business trips or Caribbean people there to watch cricket or to visit their Guyanese friends.
Tourism in Guyana doesn't deserve more than being either part of a larger portfolio, or as the responsibility of a junior minister embedded within some other ministry. Cathy isn't a junior minister.
But its all good. The various folks, Cathy, Amna, Felix, and numerous others need to get their rewards for their struggles whilst in the opposition. So we might get as many as 30 cabinet members, because the AFC is still at only 30% of the 26 cabinet members . . .
look Captain Obvious, i agree with all that, and have addressed this issue elsewhere on GNI
again, what's this got to do with AFC "factionalism"?
