Attorney, Ronald Charles, has been officially appointed as the replacement for ousted UWP senator, Dr Thompson Fontaine.
UWP had chosen Charles to replace Dr Thomson Fontaine who, according to Prime Minister Skerrit, was removed as senator because he missed three consecutive sittings of parliament without “the expressed authority of the Speaker.”

Opposition Leader Lennox, in commenting on the appointment, said the President responded in quick time to his recommendation and Charles will be taking his oath of office at the next sitting of Parliament.
