PM realigns Cabinet portfolios

Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar has re­aligned min­is­te­r­i­al port­fo­lios, mov­ing re­spon­si­bil­i­ty for a wide range of Gov­ern­ment pro­grammes, state en­ter­pris­es and oth­er func­tions among mem­bers of Cab­i­net.

The changes, which took ef­fect on Sep­tem­ber 30, place sev­er­al sig­nif­i­cant re­spon­si­bil­i­ties with min­is­ters who did not pre­vi­ous­ly have them, while re­mov­ing oth­er du­ties from their col­leagues. The changes are set out in the Trinidad and To­ba­go Gazette No. 166, pub­lished on Fri­day.

A ma­jor part of the re­align­ment cen­tres on hous­ing and state en­ter­pris­es.
