I wonder if this reshuffle will actually bring any significant ces or just a reshuffling of the same faces. 🤔
I dont get why they bother with minor cabinet reshuffles. Just shake things up properly or leave it be!
I dont understand why the Governor is making minor ces. Shouldnt we focus on bigger issues? Just my two cents.
I wonder if this reshuffle will bring any real ce or just shuffle around the same issues. Time will tell! 🤔
