And one Minister without much political play or sway who will be in that Cabinet meeting is Carla Barnett.

"Will Dr. Carla Barnett who has now been defeated at general election level and at convention level, will she remained in the cabinet and in the senate?"
Rt. Hon. Dean Barrow, Prime Minister
"Again, let me be careful. The fact is she did not win and that will allow some people to draw certain conclusions about Carla's political career. But it has never ever been questioned that with respect to professional ability, with respect to administrative ability, with respect to brain power, with respect to experience both here and abroad at the highest levels. She is an invaluable resource. So why on earth would I not continue to wish, to make use of and deploy these skills of hers as a member of cabinet?"
