ENERGY Minister Stuart Young will officially take charge as prime minister on March 17 when he is sworn into this post.
But Young's appointment, which was public knowledge since January, may not be the only change that happens on that day. One provision of the Constitution suggests cabinet ministers relinquish their posts when a prime minister is either appointed or re-appointed.
This creates a scenario for small or large changes to the Cabinet, depending on what Young may decide. The appointment of posts to the Cabinet lies within the sole prerogative of the prime minister.
