Choiseul/Saltibus MP, Hon Lorne Theophilus is St. Lucia’s Minister for Tourism and the emerging heritage and creative industries. This puts him in charge of St. Lucia’s highest income earner while also having responsibility two new emerging industries.
The appointment does not come as a total surprise because Lorne's articulated vision in his "mini manifesto" and his platform during the campaign spoke very eloquently on those three portfolios.
Although a barrister by profession, Minister Lorne Theophilus is also thoroughly versed in the heritage and creative disciplines and we expect him to do an excellent job.
Dr Anthony must be commended for the innovative reconfiguration of the Ministries. I am particularly happy about the inclusion of Science and Technology and Rural Development portfolios. I will dwell on those portfolios at a later date.
