Prominent Attorney-at-Law, Anil Nandlall is Guyana's new Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs and he will be among several new and well-known faces to be sworn in as cabinet members on Monday afternoon, according to well-placed sources.
Nandlall has been former President, Bharrat Jagdeo's personal lawyer and has been lead counsel in a libel case against newspaper columnist, Freddie Kissoon. That matter is yet to conclude before Justice Brassington Reynolds.
Mr. Juan Edghill, a former chairman of the Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC), is also expected to be sworn in as a government minister at State House at 1 PM. His portfolio was not immediately known.
Other sources say that four ministers have retained their portfolios from the Bharrat Jagdeo administration. They are Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carolyn Rodrigues; Minister of Public Works, Robeson Benn; Minister of Finance, Dr. Ashni Singh and Minister of Home Affairs, Clement Rohee.
The new Minister of Health would be Dr. Bheri Ramsarran. Dr. Leslie Ramsammy, who had been at the helm of that Ministry since 2001, would be heading the Ministry of Agriculture.
Priya Manickchand will be the new Minister of Education and Jennifer Webster will be the new Minister of Human Services.
Newly-elected President, Donald Ramotar has said that he would be naming an all-Peoples Progressive Party Civic (PPPC) although his party has a one-seat minority in the 65-seat National Assembly. The opposition coalition A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) has been insisting on a government of national unity.
APNU, seemingly at pains to tone down its protests, has been saying that it would use the one-seat combined opposition majority with the Alliance For Change (AFC) to press the Executive to take a number of decisions in the best interest of the people.

A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) last evening held a prayer vigil at the Square of the Revolution as part of their ongoing movement for ‘change’ in Guyana, even after the swearing in of President Donald Ramotar. Several speakers expressed their inability to accept Guyana’s seventh Executive President, Donald Ramotar, by referring to David Granger, APNU’s leader as ‘President Granger’

Williams insisted that the prayer service is going to surprise the enemy. He stressed that the enemy will expect them to throw bricks at stores’ walls, but the gathering is only praying. He added that the enemy will expect them to be at home crying but the opposite is happening.
PNC.. the enemy?
