As new­ly ap­point­ed Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter Mar­vin Gon­za­les en­ters what has been de­scribed as one of the most chal­leng­ing min­is­te­r­i­al port­fo­lios avail­able, sev­er­al na­tion­al se­cu­ri­ty stake­hold­ers are urg­ing him to keep an open mind and be re­cep­tive to ad­vice.

Gon­za­les takes over from Fitzger­ald Hinds who was shift­ed to the Of­fice of the Prime Min­is­ter.

Ac­cord­ing to his pro­file on the Min­istry of Pub­lic Util­i­ties web­site, Gon­za­les was a for­mer po­lice of­fi­cer be­fore be­com­ing an at­tor­ney.
