BREAKING NEWS | TNN EXCLUSIVE
TNN has learned from reliable sources that the Hon. Wayne Furbert the Junior Finance Minister has been relieved of his duties by Premier David Burt.
While the government has not yet officially confirmed the move, TNN has conducted its own in-depth investigation into the recent cabinet changes and the political developments unfolding behind the scenes.
Sources indicate that the decision is part of a broader cabinet reshuffle tied to the ongoing PLP leadership contest. According to information obtained by TNN, Premier Burt is severing ties with cabinet members believed to be supporting Curtis Dickinson in the leadership race.
Premier Burt has publicly endorsed Jason Hayward, the Minister of Economy and Labour, as his preferred candidate in the leadership challenge. Hayward is facing Curtis Dickinson, the former Finance Minister, who resigned from Cabinet following disagreements over the proposed financing arrangements for the Fairmont Southampton redevelopment.
Premier Burt is scheduled to hold a press conference at 3:30 p.m., today where he is expected to announce changes to his Cabinet and introduce new ministers.
TNN will be attending the press conference and will seek comment directly from Premier Burt regarding the reported dismissal of the Junior Finance Minister and the reasons behind the latest cabinet changes.
