Minister of Social Cohesion in the A Partnership for National Unity, Alliance For Change (APNU+AFC) Government Amna Ally said that governance and parliamentary matters are among the issues listed in her portfolio.
Speaking with the Government Information Agency today at her office located in the Office of the President (which is to be renamed the Ministry of the Presidency), Minister Ally added that while she will be involved in governance matters in and around the government unit, she would also be in charge of parliamentary matters.
She expressed the hope that when Parliament is reconvened and all the terms of reference for the Ministers are made out, by then she would be able to clarify the issues which would become her priority.
Observing that the name of the unit is a new one, Minister Ally explained that she is currently studying what happened within it during the tenure of former Presidential Advisor on Governance Gail Teixeira of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic.
She pointed out that, “I am more or less studying what’s been happening, and then I am going to do an assessment in collaboration with the President and other members of the Cabinet, then we are going to take it from there. I am still new in it and am trying to find out what exactly should be the priority.”
