Reassignment an 'opportunity' for Jr Ministers to build portfolios - Skelton-Cline
Premier and Minister of Finance, Honourable Andrew A. Fahie (R1) in a statement yesterday, November 26, 2019, noted that
Honourable Shereen D. Flax-Charles (AL) has now been appointed the Junior Minister for Trade and Economic Development while Honourable Sharie B. de Castro (AL) has been appointed Junior Minister for Tourism, effective November 25, 2019.
"Indeed, I continue to see the benefits and merit in capacity building among elected Members. This is evident in the stellar performance of each Minister who performed in the role of Deputy Premier, albeit on a rotational basis," Hon Fahie said as part of his official media statement.
Capacity Building
He said the reassignment of the portfolios came an opportune time when "unconventional approaches" are needed to push the legislative agenda of the government and the decision comes after Premier Fahie made all his Ministers serve as Deputy Premier.
"It’s is always good to move away from what is familiar, as I am building capacity across my Government. There is an opportunity to get tourism expertise at this time within the trade and economic agenda," Hon Fahie further went on to say.
Skelton-Cline in his radio commentary noted, "We trust that both Junior ministers, they too, will find this as an opportunity in building their own portfolios and their capacities and helping to advance this territory for the good of all of us"
"We continue to celebrate the only two women in government and we trust that will be a wonderful opportunity for them," he said.

Learn to conduct herself properly in HOA. She at times seems angry. Angry and passion are very different while Sheree is the golden goose in VIP. Watch thing
Well, the time has come Hon Fahie, for you to Practice exactly what you have been preaching. Here we have our Junior Minister of Trade attending a parliamentary Trade event in the UK, while at the same time she is junior Minister of Tourism; while the former Junior Minister of Tourism sits in the Junior Minister of Trade seat. Some things are just not adding up Hon premier. Thanks to the working of the Internet, we are all becoming geniuses.
