Wehby sworn in as senator

Don Wehby yesterday became the 13th government senator to be sworn in at Gordon House.

The former Jamaica Labour Party government minister took the oath of allegiance during a sitting of the Upper House.

Wehby is no stranger to legislative work, having been appointed a senator by former Prime Minister Bruce Golding in 2007. He was also appointed a minister without portfolio in the Ministry of Finance under the Golding administration.

In his first stint as a lawmaker, Wehby completed 21 months as a senator and government minister before returning to the private sector.
