Opposition Leader Penelope Beckles says there will be changes to the Opposition Senate bench when Parliament reconvenes tomorrow.
The announcement comes just over a month after controversy engulfed the People’s National Movement (PNM), following the removal of Opposition Senator Janelle John-Bates from the Public Accounts and Administration Committee (PAAC) amid allegations she helped in editing a witness statement submitted by former health minister Terrence Deyalsingh.
John-Bates offered her resignation to Beckles, who is yet to make a decision on that. However, John-Bates and Faris Al-Rawi avoided an investigation by Parliament’s Privileges Committee, after a motion seeking to refer them to the committee lapsed. The issue arose after it was revealed Al-Rawi was also involved in preparing the witness statement.
