The Ministry of the Presidency (MoTP) yesterday clarified that no new Ministry is being created for the current Minister within the Ministry of Communities, Dawn Hastings-Williams, who will assume responsibility for Public Affairs as a Minister within the Ministry of the Presidency on September 1.
In a statement yesterday, MoTP said that it wished to correct the misinformation being peddled in a section of the press, which incorrectly stated that Hastings-Williams’s appointment brings to 20 the number of Ministries. There are, in fact, only 15 Ministries, the statement said.
