THE Alliance For Change (AFC) says that contrary to a media report, no discussion regarding a junior Minister of Agriculture took place at its leadership retreat on Sunday and no such decision was taken.“Further, no decision was taken for the party leader or any other AFC Cabinet member to take any issue of any new appointment in the Ministry of Agriculture to Cabinet or to His Excellency,” the party’s Public Relations Chief Imran Khan said in a statement.

The statement noted that at the retreat there were criticisms raised about how the Wales Estate planned closure announcement was handled and the party Vice-Chair, Moses Nagamootoo advised that the Government should meet with and dialogue with the sugar workers.
