Two government ministers step down
Two government ministers have stepped down from their positions, the Premier announced today.
Kathy-Lynn Simmons, the Attorney-General and Minister of Legal Affairs, and Vance Campbell, the Minister for the Cabinet Office, tendered their resignations last week.
David Burt said today: “Both Vance and Kathy have been valued members of the Cabinet, bringing to bear their thoughtful advice and counsel to the complex issues that confront Bermuda and which we in Government have a responsibility to address.”
He added: “Seven years after returning to Government and four years into this term, I fully understand and accept when individuals make decisions regarding their continued public service.
“This journey is not easy and takes a toll on not just the individual, but on families as well.
“I respect Vance and Kathy's decisions at this time and cannot thank them enough for offering themselves for service and wish them both the very best for the future.”
The Premier will make an announcement later in the week on other changes to ministerial responsibilities.
