Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar told reporters Wednesday she is confident that Foreign Minister Suruj Rambachan will do a good job in the expanded ministry, which now includes communication.
"He has tremendous skill in communications...and he will be assisted by Nicole Dyer-Griffith. I think we will do well," Persad-Bissessar said.
She acknowledged that the combination of Foreign Affairs and Communications in her Cabinet realignment is unusual. However, she said she thinks it will work and is prepared to give it a try.
Rambachan is now the line minister for the Caribbean New Media Group (CNMG) and Government Information Services Limited (GISL). The portfolios were previously held by Colin Partap (CNMG) and Rodger Samuel (GISL).
Persad-Bissessar said, "It may be unusual but we don't get things done unless we change things. The fit will work. You would have seen that many of the missions we undertook abroad, when we came back it was Minister Rambachan who will be putting over the incidents and events of those visits."
The Prime Minister said the Government must not be afraid to take chances.
"We have to go brave. We can't expect things to change if we do it in the same way, in the same old way. So I am prepared to give it a try. I think it will work."
