They may be highly qualified and experienced in the subjects

Now that the taxes have been increased - Why don't we have two more additional State Ministers for Energy with no duties. In case you want some names it can be provided. The country is still going down the same disastrous path.

Slap in the face to the IMF. Instead of reducing the free loaders your president is increasing the number of free loaders.

RW appointed State Ministers and now looking for ways to assign them duties. This should not have happened

Robin Banks Sunday, 18 September 2022 07:20 AM

Whatever duties they assume they will fail , because they have very limited abilities other than pander to an ineffective, self obsessed president.

We shouldn’t be too concerned, these positions and accompanying perks and privileges are funded by US grants. There can be an inexhaustible supply of money from this source if we can play China against the US

Don't worry with the appointment of these State Ministers in addition to the existing Minister, the CEB and Petroleum Corporation will run efficiently and show massive Profits to wipe out all past losses.
