THA Chief Secretary Farley Augustine has shifted many of his former secretaries into new divisions as he vowed to take whatever action is necessary to steer Tobago towards its development goals.

Augustine was speaking on January 26 as his secretaries took their oath of office at the Colibri Room of the Magdalena Grand and Beach Resort in Lowlands.

He noted that Tobago is steep in tradition, acknowledging that islanders love to celebrate traditions. Traditions, he said, work well for the Tobago Heritage Festival, but aren't ideal in governance.
