Dwayne George to be appointed as senator

Fresh from his selection as the new Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP)
caretaker for the St. Mary’s South constituency, Dwayne George, will be appointed
as a senator effective today.
Reports out of Cabinet indicate that George has been applauded for accepting the
nomination to the Senate, effective Thursday, August 3 rd . The new Senator will
make his first appearance approximately one week later when it convenes to debate
two matters sent up from the Lower House.
George’s appointment is being made possible, following the demitting from office,
of Senator Caleb Gardiner who is leaving to take up an appointment as a diplomat,
posted to the Antigua and Barbuda Embassy in Washington D.C, the US Capital.
Gardner too has been applauded by the Cabinet. It is anticipated that he will have
the benefit of serving with a senior diplomat and also furthering his academic
studies by being in Washington DC, where several outstanding Universities have
campuses. The Cabinet is of the view that as the youngest Antigua and Barbuda
diplomat ever, he has one of the greatest futures ahead of him.
