Nadine gives up Senate job for THA

Stewart-Phillips was sworn-in yesterday at the 10th Inauguration ceremony of the THA by President Anthony Carmona.

Speaking with Newsday after the ceremony, which took place at the Assembly Legislature in Scarborough, Stewart-Phillips indicated that she resigned her post as senator with effect from Wednesday. Contacted for comment, former diplomat and head of the public service Reginald Dumas noted that while he was unaware of Stewart Phillips’ resignation, she had to resign as there was no way she could hold the two portfolios. Stewart-Phillips is being tipped to be sworn-in as the Secretary for the Division of Tourism and Culture at a ceremony scheduled to be held this morning.
