Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar has described newly inaugurated Prime Minister Stuart Young's Cabinet as "a joke."

Most of Young's appointments remain unchanged from Dr Keith Rowley's.

The changes came with Camille Robinson-Regis being appointed Attorney General to replace Reginald Armour who is now a judge on the Eastern Caribbean Court of Appeal. As a result, Adrian Leonce was elevated to the substantive post of Minister of Housing and Urban Development. Fitzgerald Hinds was made Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister while Marvin Gonzales became Minister of National Security. Colm Imbert replaced Gonzales as Minister of Public Utilities. He was replaced by public servant Vishnu Dhanpaul, the former high commissioner to the UK and permanent secretary in the finance and energy ministries.
