SOME members of the People’s National Movement (PNM) are pleased with Opposition Leader Pennelope Beckles’ choice of senators for 13th Parliament of Trinidad and Tobago, saying the opposition bench was a good combination of experience and youth.

Opposition Senators Dr Amery Browne, Faris Al-Rawi, Foster Cummings, Vishnu Dhanpaul, Melanie Roberts-Radgman and Janelle John-Bates were sworn in during the ceremonial opening at the Red House, Port of Spain, on May 23.

Former PNM general secretary Ashton Ford said he liked the newcomers Roberts-Radgman and John-Bates, but especially Dhanpaul who was TT’s high commissioner to the UK and, from March 17 to April 28, served as minister of finance.
