Mr. Warner did not rule out the possibility that he could be one of the Ministers who could see a change in his portfolio after these performance assessments are done.
Commenting on the plan for national development announced by the Prime Minister last evening Mr. Warner stressed the importance of having the business community as well as the rest of the nation involved in a plan like this.
Meanwhile Former Prime Minister, Basdeo Panday, believes the People’s Partnership government will suffer the same political fate as the PNM.
Mister Panday was speaking this morning on Power 102.1fm.
He said the PP government came into office with a lot of good will and support.
However he said that the partnership cannot move forward and deliver on its promises because it has no plan.
Mr. Panday added that the PP came together hurriedly in order to get into power following the May, 2010 elections and this is why they did not get the chance to put a plan of action together.
He said what the government needs to do now is to have its cabinet members develop a sense of having direction.
