How yuh gan tek a man without experience and put he fuh run a major department? It like asking an intern fuh perform life-saving surgery. Putting an inexperienced to head a department is like de blind leading de blind-folded.
When de government advertise dem same big wuk, dem does ask fuh qualifications and experience. But it looks as if when de same government mek political appointments, dem does discard de requirement of experience. Book knowledge is good enough!

When he returned he saw the handyman had on two long winter coats. De businessman asked de handyman why in de hot weather he was wearing such bulky clothing.
De handyman pick up de paint tin and showed de businessman where it was written, “For best results use two coats.”
