President David Granger yesterday said that government will soon be announcing changes at the level of permanent secretaries.
He made this disclosure shortly after accepting the Letters of Credence from new Suriname Ambassador to Guyana, Ebu Rohno Jones, but did not go into much details. Granger informed that an announcement will be forthcoming by the end of the month or at the beginning of June.
Further, the president said that no decision was made on naming any new Vice President. With the recent resignation of Foreign Affairs Minister, Carl Greenidge, there are now three Vice Presidents. Shortly after the APNU+AFC government entered office, Greenidge was sworn in as the Second Vice President.
Asked yesterday who will replace him in this regard, the president said that while former junior Health Minister Dr Karen Cummings has been named the new Minister of Foreign Affairs, no decision has been made on whether an additional Vice President will be appointed at “this point in time.”
