Senator Richardson Sworn In As Junior Minister
Senator Anthony Richardson was sworn in as the Junior Minister for Home Affairs and the Cabinet Office, the Government said this evening.
A Government spokesperson said, “Senator Anthony Richardson JP was sworn in as the Junior Minister for Home Affairs and the Cabinet Office at Government House on Friday, 14th June.
“Anthony Richardson was the PLP Candidate for Constituency #7, Hamilton South in the 2017 General Election and has served in the Senate since September 2017.
“He has more than 28 years’ experience as a Chartered Accountant holding such senior positions as Accountant General of Bermuda, Chairman of the Bermuda Hospitals Board, Chief Executive Officer of the Bermuda Health Council and Chief Financial Officer of the Bermuda Land Development Company.
“I am extremely pleased to welcome Mr. Richardson to this role and I am certain that he will make a tremendous contribution,” Premier David Burt said.
“I thank the Junior Minister for stepping forward to serve our country. In this new role, he will continue to make a real difference to the development and growth of Bermuda, for all Bermudians.”
Good for him he must have worked very hard. What are the responsibilities of the junior ministers?
and the government continues to grow …more spending …friends and family is alive and well in the plp …we have to be at a high for political payouts
well that’s a new way to increase jobs
thanks to all you 25-11 voters you can be proud of your new and expanded governement
No comments from them about the violent crimewave. Don’t they care?
Can someone please tell me the cost of this PLP Cabinet including this new position compared to the cost of Cabinet under the OBA?
Why on earth is there a need to further increase the ministerial payroll!? This pisses me off as i struggle to paybmy extra taxes and health insurance.
Why so many Junior Ministers? If the Ministers are that incompetent, fire them and replace them. Unfortunately the civil service mentality of just keep hiring seems to have taken over. Presumably he will also need the usual complement of additional consultants and advisers to help him. Must be a new tax increase to be announced.
Can Mr. Richardson serve as both a Senator and a Junior Minister at the same time?
Holding multiple jobs under this regime is par for the course. You can be a junior minister and paid consultant to that ministry at the same time, as well as holding down a full time job, so why not.
Crazy
Well done voters!
