PORT OF SPAIN – Two days after he led his People’s National Movement (PNM) to victory in the general election, Dr Keith Christopher Rowley was sworn in as the seventh prime minister of Trinidad and Tobago.
He renewed his pledge yesterday to be a head of government for all the people of this multi-racial, oil-rich, twin-island republic.
In a ceremony lasting just under 30 minutes, retired Chief of Staff of the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force, Major Edmund Dillon, was sworn in as the new Minister of National Security while attorney Faris Al Rawi took the oath of office as Attorney General before President Anthony Carmona at Queen’s Hall, on the outskirts of the capital.
Rowley later told reporters that the rest of the Cabinet would be announced tomorrow.
