Nine new ministers were yesterday appointed for the new APNU+AFC administration and there is at least one still to be sworn in, which would swell the number to 25, but President David Granger said the junior appointees would be understudying their seniors.

Leading the nine who were sworn in yesterday at the Ministry of the Presidency was AFC leader and attorney Khemraj Ramjattan, who was appointed second vice-president and Minister of Public Security. Noel Holder, an AFC member and widower of the AFC co-founder Sheila Holder,
