“Today I am announcing my resignation from the Senate with immediate effect. It has been a great honour and privilege for me to serve the people of The Bahamas in such high office.However, at this current time in my life I need to focus on a few personal matters and do not feel that I will be able to devote the time needed to best serve the Bahamian people. I cannot in good conscience allow myself to continue to serve while not being able to focus all of my attention to the work of the people.”

“I truly believe the Free National Movement is strongest when it is focused on the work of the people and my hope is that my resignation today will allow the party to appoint someone that can fill my roll and dedicate the needed time to achieving the greater good of all Bahamians. I thank the FNM leadership for giving me the opportunity to serve the people and I look forward to working in my own capacity to help ensure that the FNM continues to move forward as it strives to rescue The Bahamas from a failing government”
