Prime Minister Tillman Thomas of Grenada has responded to a lobby from the tourism sector and removed the tourism portfolio from the ministry of foreign affairs as part of a cabinet shuffle he announced Thursday night.
The new tourism minister is Glennis Robert, who is also the Minister for Social Development, leaving Peter David to focus exclusively on Foreign Affairs.
The moves comes a year after Thomas' National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration came to office in July 2008 general elections. “It’s prudent, necessary and beneficial to reshuffle cabinet,” Thomas said in announcing the changes.
While Thomas made some important cabinet changes he did not name a replacement for his attorney general who was forced to quit last week. Jimmy Bristol handed in his resignation after admitting that he made an "error in judgment" in trying to influence a court matter in the U.S. regarding his stepson.
