Pleased by his ministers’ performance in 2016, President David Granger says there will be no reshuffling of the Cabinet.
On the weekly televised programme The Public Interest, Granger was asked if he was pleased with the performance of the ministers in 2016 and whether there would be any reshuffling of the Cabinet. “I think we have a good team. As you know the Cabinet is made up of representatives of six different parties and right now every party is represented at ministerial level,” Granger said. He added that the current Cabinet was the best possible one.
“They work very hard and I am very happy to work with them in the new year. I have made some changes, for example at the start of 2016 I did create the Ministry of Public Telecommunications, which was not there before and I think everybody is satisfied with the performance of Minister Cathy Hughes. She’s taken an almost new ministry and moved it forward and it is now central with the new agenda,” Granger pointed out. He also mentioned the change he made with Minister Raphael Trotman, who is now responsible for Natural Resources.
Granger added that the team has remained intact, although the functions have been modified and he feels very confident going into 2017 with the same team.
