You bring whatever it is on the table. That is not a problem at all. We have the right todiscuss things around the ministries because it isone single cabinet. The important thing is that we want to move our people from where they arenow; they are in abject poverty, which concerns about 75 percent of the populace. So, we need toactually restructure the political and social moment of the country and that is what we are going to do. That means poverty will reduce."he said
