House pays tribute to late MP Hyacinth Knight

The House of Representatives paused on Tuesday to pay tribute to late Member of Parliament (MP) Hyacinth Knight, hailing the revered public servant for her years of national service following her passing last month at age 86.

During their tributes, speakers on both sides of the political divide remembered Knight as a “mother, mentor and good friend”, as well as a teacher, JAMAL administrator, farmer, developer, councillor and mayor, in addition to her role as a legislator.

Speaker of the House Juliet Holness hailed Knight for her “service above self”.
