So why were people slamming the PPP for appointing their people as Ambassadors?  Everybody can't get Minister work, so they get Ambassadorships.

 

Why you think Coalition has not announced Ambassadors yet?  It's a point of contention.

 

Does AFC get 40% of these?

Does the Cummingsburg Accord say that the AFC must get 40% of everything,

 

 

I hardly think that the PNC would have been so foolish, given that they are a much larger party, so have a much larger pool of candidates for given slots.

 

You say that the PPP was diverse, even as only 3 blacks had any clout, only 2 headed state owned corporations/commissions/committees, and under Jagdeo NO Africans were in anything other than acting positions at their overseas missions.

 

So given your happiness with the PPPs diversity, you ought to be over come with joy that the PNC dominated gov't has so far displayed more ethnic diversity when selecting people for significant positions.

 

There are 15 cabinet positions and 3 significant people in the Ministry of the Presidency.  NINE of these folks are NOT African.  Look at the senior ministers in the PPP cabinet, and add Luncheon and Ramotar and the PPP was considerably LESS diverse.

 

Now unless only 2 Indians are selected to head state commissions/committees/corporations, and NO Indians are selected as ambassadors/high commissioners, the coalition will be MORE diverse than was the PPP.  As it is the coalition doesn't have to try too hard to be more diverse than the PPP was.

 

So run off and weep that AFC Indos aren't dominating the coalition, as you thought that stupid black people would allow, even after having suffered from 23 years of Indian oppression.
