At 10.11 am yesterday, Stuart Young became Trinidad and Tobago’s eighth Prime Minister. It is a role he says he feels honoured to be bestowed, as he looks forward to being able to deliver to citizens.
Following his swearing-in ceremony at President’s House, St Ann’s, yesterday, Young said, “It’s a great honour to be the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago. This is an honour only seven persons have had before me and I am taking that very seriously, especially the responsibility that I know that comes along with it and apart from being honoured and a sense of great responsibility, I’m really looking forward to delivering for the citizens of Trinidad and Tobago in this new role and portfolio.”
The 50-year-old, born on Upper Henry Street, Port-of-Spain, also wasted no time in exercising his prime ministerial powers by appointing a new cabinet, including the appointment of Camille Robinson-Regis as Attorney General.
