CARIBBEAN - Following general elections earlier this month, Guyana has named Susan Rodrigues as its new Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, succeeding Oneidge Walrond, who now serves as Minister of Home Affairs.
Rodrigues previously held the post of Minister within the Ministry of Housing and Water. President Dr. Irfaan Ali begins a second term following the People’s Progressive Party/Civic’s (PPP/C) victory at the polls.
In Jamaica, veteran parliamentarian Edmund Bartlett retains the tourism portfolio, continuing his long-standing leadership of the sector. Prime Minister Dr. Andrew Holness of the Jamaica Labour Party was reelected for a third term after a closely contested race.
