Minister of State Joseph Harmon on Friday said that the responsibilities of recently reassigned minister Dawn Hastings-Williams will include occasionally accompanying President David Granger on travels both locally and abroad.
Hastings-Williams, who is still performing duties as Minister within the Ministry of Communities, will assume responsibility for Public Affairs as a Minister within the Ministry of the Presidency from September 1.
Government earlier this week announced her reassignment, prompting concerns that a new ministry had been created. Speaking at a post-Cabinet press briefing at the NCN studios, Harmon reiterated that there is no Ministry of Public Affairs; rather, he said the minister will be responsibility for public affairs in the Ministry of the Presidency.
