Over the past week, we were told of two changes the Government is hoping will help significantly in fighting the current crime wave.Last weekend, during the Barbados Labour Party’s annual general conference, Prime Minister Mia Mottley announced a Cabinet reshuffle. In that shifting of ministers, Member of Parliament for The City Corey Lane was named Minister of State with responsibility for Crime Prevention. He will work directly with Attorney General Dale Marshall.Lane’s appointment was among several changes. Dr The Most Honourable Jerome Walcott, the Senior Minister of Social Sectors and Environment, was named Minister of Health and Wellness, taking over the portfolio that had been held by Ian Gooding-Edghill who is now Minister of Tourism and International Transport.
