Opposition Senator Faris Al-Rawi, SC, was criticised yesterday by Government ministers who argued that he was fully aware his colleague Senator Janelle John-Bates was a member of the Public Administration and Appropriations Committee (PAAC).

At yesterday’s Senate sitting, Labour Minister Leroy Baptiste moved a motion to adopt the PAAC’s Special Report on John-Bates’ conduct.

‘COMPROMISED IMPARTIALITY’: Government Senator David Nakhid speaks on the John-Bates matter yesterday.
