But 6 names that are confirmed are those of the PUP Senators. They are Eamon Courtenay, Chris Coye, Linsford Castillo, Rozel Arana,. Brittney Galvez, and Hector Guerra. Prime Minister Briceño will advise the Governor-General to appoint these persons to the Senate.
In a note sent to his party colleagues, PM Briceno outlined the rationale for each selection.
He says Eamon Courtenay will continue as Leader of Government Business and serve as Special Representative for the Prime Minister for International Legal Affairs, Diplomacy, and Strategic Engagement- which, to this newsroom, sounds a lot like the job of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
It also announced that Chris Coye will return and continue to serve as Min. of State for Finance - which was still up in the air until a few days ago.
Next is Linsford Castillo - who is the PUP Secretary General.
He is followed by a representative from the south, Roselle Arana, a former Orange Walk Town Councilor and educator who now lives in Barranco.
After that it's Brittney Galvez. She works in the Special Envoy's Office and the PM notes she is a member of various party organs and holds a Masters in Public Health.
And, though there are already two attorneys, the Prime Minister adds a third: Hector Guerra â€" described to party members as "a strong PUP supporter and a young man with leadership potential." Guerra is from Marine Parade Law Chambers. We note that lawyers from two firms comprise half of the 6 government appointees to the senate.
