Minister Lee prepares smooth transition

GREAT BAY – “I will make every effort to make sure that the progress we have made during the past ten months continues with the next government,” outgoing Minister Emil Lee (Public Health, Social Development and Labor) said at yesterday’s council of Ministers press briefing.

“I am planning a very public handover of my ministry to my successor with a detailed report about what we have done. This way I want to make sure the transition is as smooth as possible,” Lee said.

The minister reminded journalists that when he came into office ten months ago, there was not even a computer available. “When the new minister comes in I want to make sure that he is able to hit the ground running. That is the right thing to do for the country.”

Minister Lee added that he had done “as much as possible” to secure the construction of the new hospital, the establishment of the national health insurance and labor reform.
