Costa Rican Health Minister MarÃa Elena López Núñez on Friday afternoon submitted her resignation to President Luis Guillermo SolÃs, citing family and personal reasons.
Amid rumors swarming around Casa Presidencial this week of a major shakeup in President Luis Guillermo SolÃs’ Cabinet, word came Tuesday that Public Security Minister Celso Gamboa would step down effective Tuesday, Feb. 10.
When President-elect Luis Guillermo SolÃs of the Citizen Action Party named President Laura Chinchilla’s vice minister Celso Gamboa to his cabinet as the new Pubic Security and Interior minister, the sitting president used the nod to claim some much needed credit.
President-elect Luis Guillermo Solis presented the first half of his Cabinet ministers Monday, including Vice President Helio Fallas as his minister of finance. SolÃs appeared to start his deficit reduction plan by cutting down the number of ministers in his Cabinet, assigning Fallas to double duty and eliminating another post altogether.
