There seems to be a bundle of controversy regarding the appointment of the new batch of ministers.  For example, the position of Minister of Culture and Sports has been awarded to Charles Ramson.  Lots of people are wondering why, since Mr. Ramson is qualified as a petroleum engineer. But, this is politics yesterday, today and in the future.  However, we must remember that Guyana's Political System has been shaped by our former colonial masters and mistresses.  Therefore, the various ministries are run by the permanent secretaries.    These secretaries do have the awesome responsibilities of seeing the organization and efficiency and the functioning of the day to day activities.  The ministers are merely in a position of putting forward and defending their activities in parliament and in the public.  Therefore, we should be more concerned about the secretaries that report to the ministers.

RRR I don't think that Ramson is a petroleum engineer. To be a professional Petroleum engineer you have to get your bachelor's degree in Petroleum engineering. This is the professional  degree. Which is a 4 year degree. I don't think that there is any 2 year masters degree that can make you a petroleum engineer.
