Is the fist time a bermudian has acted as deputy, does anyone know ?
This is not the first time Chief Justice has been Acting Govenor.
It’s quite normal for a Bermudian to act as the deputy. Kawaley himself has deputised before
No, happens all the time.
Is this a trial run to see how we act under a black governor?
