Until he is sworn in Doctor Minnis would still be the PM. So he is wise to take this step.
Godspeed Mr: Davis.

My predictions for the next 12 months: 1) Davis will not decrease VAT or raise minimum wage because he will claim he did not know how bad the financial burden for our country is. 2) We will get a new huge loan but it will have strings attached such as tax increases, expenditure decreases and so on.

Unfortunately Davis won’t avail himself of any of that new blood. All of the substantial posts will be given to the baggage carrying old guard, Mitchell, Hanna-Martin, Wilchcolme, Sears et al.

He has to check with Nygard first.

@tal, wasn’t it also Obediah who was implicated in trying to extort the Travolta family during their time of tragedy and grief, yes?
