AG not worried about reshuffle

Attorney General Glenda Morean yesterday dismissed talk that she was to be shifted in a Cabinet reshuffle, suggesting that with no court and no Parliament, people were looking for news. “I have no worry and I have no problem. Remember I have a profession,” she told Newsday. “Let people speculate. Now you have no Parliament, no courts, no news. So things are not as exciting — at least on the political front,” she said. Reports in the media stated that Morean and National Security Minister Howard Chin Lee are to be relieved from their ministerial portfolios. Asked whether she felt funny that  she was being placed in the same category as Chin Lee, Morean said both  offices were  high profile and attract a lot of attention. Asked whether she had been told of an impending Cabinet reshuffle , Morean said  that if even she were she would not talk about it now.  She later said what she had read in the newspaper was not correct. But she stressed that once someone decided to take public office and enter the government “you know that there are certain rules and conditions of engagement”.
 
Asked how she felt reading the speculation, she said: “I have read worse things”. Told that the position she now held was one of the most prestigious ones in the government and that any movement (unless she is to become Prime Minister) would be perceived to be less favourable, Morean said “Well if there is any movement it may be different, (not necessarily less favourable).”. She stated that the position of  AG was not only one of the  prestigious positions in the government, it was also one of the most stressful positions. Meanwhile, Chin Lee, was not in office yesterday, according to his secretary, while his press officer said she had not spoken to him all day. Sources said that the Prime Minister is to announce a Cabinet reshuffle on August 15.
