THE Office of the Prime Minister announced changes to the executive yesterday, which will take effect on January 2, 2024.
Pinewood MP Myles Laroda was named Minister of Social Services, Information and Broadcasting, taking over the portfolio that became vacant when Obie Wilchcombe died.
Central, South Andros and Mangrove Cay MP Leon Lundy was made State Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister. He was previously a parliamentary secretary in that office.
Kingsley Smith, the new MP for West Grand Bahama and Bimini, was named parliamentary secretary in the Ministry for Grand Bahama.
Mr Lundy said in a statement that he was honoured and “excited to assume” his new role.
He said he is “fully committed to contributing” his best efforts to serve the country nation under the prime minister’s guidance.
“I am keenly aware of the responsibilities that come with this position, and I am eager to make meaningful contributions that will positively impact our citizens and the overall well-being of our country as we work toward the vision outlined in our Blueprint for Change,” he said.
“I want to especially acknowledge my constituents in Andros, and assure you that I will use this opportunity to represent you on a higher level. Your confidence in my abilities is both humbling and inspiring.”
“I look forward to the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, and I am grateful to have a network of individuals who believe in my capacity to fulfil this important role. For those of you that have sent messages, your thoughtful words of encouragement and support mean a great deal to me.”
The prime minister shuffled his Cabinet in September, announcing seven new ministerial appointments and portfolio adjustments.

... politics, the process through which people prefect the art of self service in the name of national service, leaving those individuals better off at the country's expense!

Truly remarkable:
Samuel 1 This is what the king who will reign over you will do: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots. 12 Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. 13 He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. 14 He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. 15 He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants. 16 Your menservants and maidservants and the best of your cattle [2] and donkeys he will take for his own use. 17 He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves. 18 When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the LORD will not answer you in that day*

The promises to Grand Bahama are already fading into a distant memory. Seat at the children's table maybe.
