Dookeran takes over Finance

The swear­ing-in cer­e­mo­ny of a to­tal of 34 min­is­ters and par­lia­men­tary sec­re­taries formed the Peo­ple's Part­ner­ship Cab­i­net yes­ter­day. Pres­i­dent George Maxwell Richards swore 24 gov­ern­ment min­is­ters, three min­is­ters in min­istries, two min­is­ters of state and five par­lia­men­tary sec­re­taries in­to of­fice at the Knowsley Build­ing, Queen's Park Sa­van­nah.

Po­lit­i­cal leader of the Con­gress of the Peo­ple Win­ston Dook­er­an has been giv­en the port­fo­lio of Min­is­ter of Fi­nance as promised by Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar at a re­cent po­lit­i­cal ral­ly. Jack Warn­er will now head the Min­is­ter of Works and Trans­port, while Dr Tim Gopeesingh, MP for Ca­roni East, is now the Min­is­ter of Ed­u­ca­tion, and not Min­is­ter of Health as many have an­tic­i­pat­ed.

A new min­istry–Min­istry of Food Pro­duc­tion–will be run by for­mer St Au­gus­tine MP Vas­ant Bharath. New­com­er on the po­lit­i­cal scene, uni­ver­si­ty lec­tur­er Therese Bap­tiste-Cor­nelis has the task of lead­ing the Min­istry of Health. (RKR)
