Bell: Appointing Karran was not a mistake

Chief Minister Allan Bell has told 3FM he feels he didn’t make a mistake in appointing Peter Karran to the role of Education and Children Minister.

The decision was seen as controversial by many and ultimately ended in the Liberal Vannin leaders sacking from the post with Peel MHK Tim Crookall taking his place.

The Chief Minister said he wanted his cabinet to reflect a government with no doors closed off to any members.

Speaking to 3FM he said he hopes he can work with Mr Karran to find another role for him within government (see audio):
