My resignation comes following the request of the Leader of the Free National Movement Dr. Hubert Minnis. Dr. Minnis is moving to implement a plan announced at the appointment of F.N.M Senators in 2012. At that time, he advised the public and his appointees that the appointments to the Senate would be for a period of two and a half years.

It has been a tremendous honour to serve my party and the people of the Bahamas in the Upper Chamber and I thank Dr. Minnis for the opportunity extended to me over the last two and a half years. Indeed, it is the Leader’s privilege to appoint Senators and equally to disappoint them.

I look forward to continuing to work within the Free National Movement as we strategize to win the next general election. I fully expect to enjoy the support of my leader for my nomination as our party’s Standard bearer in the Marathon constituency. It is now left for me to give complete attention to the Marathon Constituency Association with an eye on 2017.
