From the con­tro­ver­sial use of a gov­ern­ment cred­it card to ques­tions sur­round­ing the source of a $143,800 bank trans­ac­tion, the po­lit­i­cal ca­reer of Camille Robin­son-Reg­is has been marked by scruti­ny.

Now her el­e­va­tion to a key min­is­te­r­i­al role in the Cab­i­net of Prime Min­is­ter Stu­art Young has brought her fur­ther in­to the spot­light.

Soon af­ter he was sworn in as Prime Min­is­ter last Mon­day, Young ap­point­ed Robin­son-Reg­is as At­tor­ney Gen­er­al and Min­is­ter of Le­gal Af­fairs. Af­ter tak­ing her oath, Robin­son-Reg­is said she was “shocked” when she was told she would be­come the next AG but promised to do her best on the job.
