Plans Outlined For PAC By Shadow Minister Of Finance

Plans outlined for PAC: People’s National Party’s Shadow Minister on Finance, Planning and the Public Service, Julian Robinson appears to be hitting the ground running as he announced his priority plans for his Portfolio. Robinson who will also Chair the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) says he’s starting off with the outstanding Auditor General reports.

Spokesman of Finance, Planning and the Public Service, Julian Robinson says he has listed three areas of focus as a priority for his team.

Now, the Chairman of Parliament’s Accounts Committee, Robinson says he intends to review the outstanding reports from the Auditor General’s Department.

When asked whether he’s qualified for the job, Robinson explains that he has engaged a team of specialized professionals to guide him.

The 19-member Shadow Cabinet was released close to midnight on Wednesday, with several promotions and demotions.

It was on the heels of the leaked conversation with PNP Vice President, Damion Crawford, and other party representatives around the time of the internal presidential race,  criticizing Golding and Lisa Hanna.

Crawford was given the Entertainment and Culture Portfolio.

Noticeably absent were  Fitz Jackson and Natalie Neita-Headley who were a part of the previous cabinet declared by former PNP President, Peter Phillips but not among the new group.

Meanwhile, Political Commentator and former Member of Parliament Lloyd B Smith theorizes that Golding did not have many options.
