Trinidad & Tobago Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has reshuffled her cabinet, re-assigning the country’s Foreign Minister, Trade Minister, National Security Minister and others.
The move comes almost a year to the day that Persad-Bissessar reshuffled her cabinet in June 2011, when Warner was also reassigned. At that time, the Ministry of Works and Transport, over which Warner presided, was split into the separate ministries of Works and Transport, with Warner taking over Transport.
“The changes made should not be seen for anyone as an indictment on performance,” she said. “Each member of my cabinet has worked tirelessly in service to the nation and I am proud of their contribution.”
