Minister Mike Henry on the ball at Ministry of Labour and Social Security
Newly appointed Minister of Labour and Social Security, the Honourable Lester Michael Henry OJ, CD, MP spent his first day on the job in a marathon of meetings with Permanent Secretary Colette Roberts Risden, Chief Technical Directors, Heads of Departments and other staff members.
Minister Henry said, “my immediate plans and directions for the Ministry will focus on the need for social benefits as these are very important to the development of persons to significantly improve their lives where necessary. The areas that need legislative attention will be highlighted. We are seeking to improve the lot of domestic workers and the workforce as a whole to meet the needs of their social demands”.
Minister Henry was Minister without Portfolio in the Office of the Prime Minister from March, 2018 until his reassignment to the Ministry of Labour and Social Security. Minister Henry is also the former Minister of Transport and Mining (2016-2018).
Minister Henry took over the reins of the Labour and Social Security Ministry following the untimely passing of the late Honourable Shahine Robinson.
