Opposition Leader Pennelope Beckles says a decision on the future of Senator Janelle John-Bates will be made “soon,” nearly two weeks after the embattled senator tendered her resignation.
John-Bates told the Senate on May 1 that she had submitted her resignation to her political leader. However, 13 days later, the matter remains unresolved, with Beckles yet to formally accept it.
