Uncle Rama, you forgot to mention that she is Burnham's cousin.

l wouldn't hold that against her.  jesse was Burnham's sister.

Please stay focused on Elizabeth Ann harper, who has been selected by the PPP/C, not by the colour of her skin , nor the desire of a party to appeal to appeal to race.  There is no record, public or otherwise, that Harper was brought on board by the PPP/C because she was never affiliated with it's bureaucracy.  She could swing more non traditional support towards the PPP/C. She is seen as an  appealing candidate to women of all walks of life.

How come she was never a minister?

What happened to Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, an Amerindian herself, to have fitted the bill, this appointment has to come as sheer disappointment and insult?

That is irrelevant.  The topic is Elizabeth harper.  She is more qualified.

They are both unqualified.

Burkett is a social worker pretending to be Foreign Affairs minister, and Harper has a degree in French. Harper worked her way up and learned on the job.

Our foreign affairs ministry is a failure because they have failed to bring in much investment and assistance into the country.  Let them provide a spreadsheet of which embassies have brought in what.

The Embassy system functions more as a paper work/documents agency.

It is so comical when the President or PM shows up to open up some cake shop or restaurant as "investor confidence in the economy" while the key pillars of the economy (rice and sugar) keep dying. What a bunch of jokers.

The lady was a ghost her entire life. Not a scintilla of evidence exist that she ever did a thing on behalf of the nation. She was not even delegated to represent her foreign ministry as second in command when the Minister was unavailable. She was passed over for Priya and Rohee. Her presence there is not to represent the nation but be the face of the PPP "diversity" program.

She will never be allowed to be the president per the constitution if Romatar is unable to perform his duty. The PPP will force her  to resign and install another Indian in her place.

Note, her exalted work supposedly is in her former role. In that role she presided over a department that did not see fit to have one black face representing a nation where blacks are some 50 percent ( blacks and mixed).

She may be a good capable woman but her entire life was spent kow towing to a PPP party that marginalized her race in every area of society.

"PPP party that marginalized her race in every area of society."

I am not holding the brief for the PPP but that's a dishonest statement. The PPP did not practice racial and discrimination the way the PNC Burnhamite did.

As someone has pointed out Afros dominate everything except the Presidency.

You cannot compare a nonentity such as Harper to Nagamootoo, a hero of the working class, grounded in the masses. WE want to be polite but not saying nonsense that Nagamootoo can't be compared to Harper (whom no one knows about until now).
