PNM sources have confirmed that Opposition Senator Janelle John-Bates will be replaced on the Public Accounts and Administration Committee.

Guardian Media understands that a letter has been sent to Parliament, and Parliament has acknowledged receipt.

This follows reports that surfaced on Monday alleging that John-Bates assisted former Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh in preparing and editing his witness statement before he appeared before the PAAC.
