PREDICTIONS

Well the political gurus are hedging bets on who will be appointed Attorney General at today's swearing in ceremony at President's House.
At Tuesday's swearing in ceremony for the Prime Minister, CNMG's Charlene Ramdhanie was in her glee boasting that after much prodding she got the PM to tell her that the post would be filled "by someone outside". Don't pat yourself on the back yet Charlene. That could be any one of the five or so lawyers in the party. So he didn't give you any more hints? Tut tut.

Well Juhel Browne at the Express says "Attorney Bridgette Annisette-George is to be sworn in today as the nation's new Attorney General, several sources confirmed yesterday."

But his colleague at the Guardian, Gail Alexander is not convinced. She says "Also tipped for the Senate are attorney Bridgette Annisette-George...", after she named several other people.

And Irene Medina at the Newsday did not even try to hazard a guess. She just says "The Attorney General is to be sworn in today with all other members of Cabinet. The Attorney General is a crucial figure under the Constitution, without whom there can be no Government."

Well we'll see who gets the Kudos today for calling it right.

And Express take a bow. You have a fantastic front page picture of Mr Manning greeting his supporters. And kudos as well to Shirley Bahadur of the Guardian. She has a nice black and white of the PM and his wife also greeting supporters.
