Changes in ministerial responsibilities aimed at meeting national needs – Govt

January 1, 2016 9:49 am Category: Politics, latest news A+ /A-

President David Granger, after seven months in office, has said that he has had the opportunity to identify policy areas that need strengthened Ministerial attention and has made some adjustments to match those national needs with some changes in Ministerial responsibility.

The Head of State made it clear that these changes do not involve any changes to his Cabinet and does not mean that there is an increase in the size of the Cabinet or any reshuffling. It is, instead, a step towards developing capacity in certain policy areas.

 

Minister of Public Telecommunications, Catherine Hughes, MP, will retain responsibility for Tourism in addition to her new duties.

Minister of Public Telecommunications, Catherine Hughes, MP, will retain responsibility for Tourism in addition to her new duties.

Making the official announcement that Minister of Tourism, Catherine Hughes will now be named Minister for Public Telecommunications, while maintaining Ministerial responsibility for Tourism, President Granger said, “The reason is that after seven months, we detected a gap that there is no single spokesperson in the National Assembly, a Ministerial spokesperson, dealing with the digital economy [and] dealing with information technology. So we decided that it was necessary to have a Minister responsible for information and communication technology.”

Additionally, the Ministry of Governance and the Protection of the National Patrimony is being renamed the Ministry of Natural Resources.  Minister Raphael Trotman will now be named Minister of Natural Resources.

The President added that there will also be some non-Cabinet movement.  While applauding the work that Minister within the Ministry of Social Protection, Simona Broomes has done, President Granger said that her knowledge of the hinterland makes her a great asset to the Ministry of Natural Resources.

“Minister Broomes has tremendous energy and skill and she is going to be functioning from the Ministry of Natural Resources. She has a very good knowledge of the hinterland and we are concerned with the enforcement of certain practices and regulations in that Ministry,” the President said.

Meanwhile, Minister Keith Scott will move to the Ministry of Social Protection and will be responsible to labour issues.  A new Minister within the Ministry of Communities will be appointed.  Member of Parliament and Chief Executive Officer of the Linden Enterprise Network (LEN), Valerie Sharpe-Patterson has received the nod for that post because of or strong administrative experience.

President Granger iterated that there is no increase in the number of Ministries and added that where gaps are identified, he is prepared to address them.

Below is a complete list of adjustments, effective January 1, 2016.

Django bai, You need to stop defending the PNC. They are replacing almost all the indo with negroes. Most of these negroes are probably high school dropouts who helped, through their crimminal activities, raise funds for the PNC last elections. Can you not see this or do I need to refer you to our resident Einstein..Dr. Honorable Warria? Stan easy bai.

Django, oppositions always prepared to run a country and never under pressure. When the coalition opposition was opposing every PPP program in parliament, that shows that they can do better than the PPP. The coalition is in power now, and they must govern in line with their campaign promises. However, when your ideology is different than needs of the people and what best for the country, you will always run into trouble. The coalition started bad, and they will end badly. No reshuffling will do them any good.

Reshuffling is a sign that we are dealing with a group that is clutching at straws. We might even see the dissolution of the coalition and PNC true colors of bullying.

You are CORRECT, shuffling the deck to put PNC agenda on top, the rest of APNU are just imaginary coalition, they will drop out one by one. My contact back in Guyana, says the coalition is in disarray.

7 months in and the Granger administration already have square pegs in round holes. Lets hope they get their act together before they ruin the nation in the next 5 years.  Many people invested in Guyana, expecting continuity of progress, however with the Blacks now in charge, confidence in prosperity has been shaken as images of Rawanda and Somalia comes to mind.

Why should I keep track of unqualified PNC card carrying negroes? They are too many. You see the news here everyday. Go look 'em up.


Looks like when you meet old friends, you always say nice meeting you. You make new friends daily from meeting your old ones. Dementia is your best friend.

He has no nuts left after Katty and Granger kicked them out.

Nehru Bhai was 100 percent correct. He (Moses) is officially a house slave.
