The three new senators will receive their instruments of appointment in a ceremony Monday at Government House in Nassau, along with the seven other senators whose appointments were announced last Thursday.

Two other senators, Keith Bell and Allyson Maynard Gibson, were already sworn in when they were sworn in as Ministers of Government.
