“It would be a priv­i­lege to work with these guys!” This was act­ing Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er Ju­nior Ben­jamin’s re­sponse to yes­ter­day’s swear­ing-in of Min­is­ter of Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty Roger Alexan­der and Wayne Sturge as Min­is­ter of De­fence at Pres­i­dent’s House.

Both men who are gov­ern­ment MPs were sworn in as part of Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar’s Cab­i­net yes­ter­day.

In ex­tend­ing con­grat­u­la­tions to Sturge and Alexan­der, Ben­jamin said he worked with Alexan­der, who re­signed from the po­lice ser­vice in March.
