Unprecedented shake-up in T&T senate

(Trinidad Express) In a complete departure from practice, President Anthony Carmona has changed four of his senators in mid-term, a move that is unpre¬cedented in Trinidad and Tobago’s post-Republican history. Traditionally, presidents have changed independent senators at the end of the life of a Parliament, which comes with the calling of a general election. Yesterday, however, the President’s office announced that Carmona had revoked the appointment of four senators—Corinne Baptiste-McKnight, James Armstrong, Prof Harold Ramkissoon and Dr Lennox St Bernard.
