Liberty and Justice Party Leader and incoming parliamentarian Lenox Shuman and Private Sector Commission Chairman Gerry Gouveia say that their advisory positions with government will not conflict with their other portfolios, nor will the salaried work beholden them in any way to the PPP/C administration.
In an interview with Stabroek News on Sunday, both men said that they were honoured to be chosen by President Irfaan Ali to help and that they will execute their respective duties with professionalism and integrity, always putting country first.
Shuman will advise the Minister of Public Works on civil aviation, while Gouveia will serve as a national security advisor to the president. Shuman will be an opposition member of parliament representing the joinder list which comprises three parties. The seat will be rotated among the parties.
