‘It is what the president wants’

Jaipaul Sharma

Minister within the Ministry of Finance Jaipaul Sharma is to be appointed as the new Minister within the Ministry of Public Infrastructure, which is where he says the Head of State wants him.

Sharma, who is the leader of the Justice For All Party, confirmed to Stabroek News last evening that he will be assigned to the Public Infrastructure ministry “most likely in the new month” but offered no opinion on the decision.

“It is a process. The president’s decision. He knows best what will suit his purpose. It is not what we decide it is what the president wants. We are all creatures of the president,” he said when asked how he felt about the decision.
