COSTA RICA: Solís suffers setback
Costa Rica’s security minister, Celso Gamboa, has become the first cabinet member to quit since President Luis Guillermo Solís, of the centre-left Partido Acción Ciudadana (PAC), took office in May 2014. Gamboa has officially accepted a position in the attorney general’s office, where he previously worked, but his departure fuelled rumours that he could be lining up to take over from the minister for the presidency, Melvin Jiménez, whose future is in doubt following the corruption scandal which forced out his deputy, Daniel Soley [WR-15-05].
