Following the resignation of Laurel Lezama-Lee Sing, former THA Chief Secretary Ancil Dennis has been appointed a government senator.

This was revealed this morning in a brief post on the Facebook page of the Office of the Prime Minister.

Mrs Lezama-Lee Sing has been in the spotlight since an interim protection order was granted by the court after her husband, Daren Lee Sing, filed an application.

The matter is to be heard on November 28th.

Mrs Lezama-Lee Sing sat as the youngest Senator in the 9th Parliament from the PNM’s election victory in 2007 till 2010.

She had returned as a government senator in August 2020.
