Kim Wilson Appointed As Attorney-General
Minister Kim Wilson has been appointed as the Attorney General, and she is now the “Attorney-General and Minister of Legal Affairs and Health.”
A government spokesperson said, “Earlier today, the Acting Governor Mr. Tom Oppenheim appointed the Hon. Kim N. Wilson, Minister of Health, as Attorney-General and Minister of Legal Affairs. The appointment is made on the advice of the Premier and in accordance with Section 71(1A) of the Bermuda Constitution Order 1968.
Premier David Burt said, “I wish to thank Minister Wilson for accepting this key appointment which adds to her already considerable workload as the Minister of Health.
“I look forward to working with her to advance the Government’s legislative agenda and continuing our work in building a fairer and better Bermuda. Minister Wilson is no stranger to this task, and I know that she will approach it with her usual dedication and keen desire to improve the lives of Bermudians.”
The spokesperson added, “Minister Wilson is styled as ‘Attorney-General and Minister of Legal Affairs and Health.”
This follows after the former Attorney General Kathy Lightbourne-Simmons resigned from Cabinet and also resigned as an MP.
“continuing our work in building a fairer and better Bermuda”
The PLP Government keeps repeating that phrase. What does it mean?
It sounds like the intention is to take money from the “haves” and give it to the “have nots”.
Just remembered the 2011 scandal. Look up parking ticket and Kim Wilson Bermuda.
Shows how shallow the competence pool is within the PLP that Wilson has 2 Ministries and Burt is Premier and Minister of Finance. Backbench PLP MPs are that incompetent?
Actually looks more bad on the clown face obaUBP if they can’t beat them.
LMFAO try again bro….looks like you got washed!! Can’t even find competence from within and guys are running the country…..JOKESSSS!
I think you mean the UBPLP. After all, it is the PLP Government that has 2 former UBP leaders sitting as PLP MPs.
There has not been taking from the haves and give to the have nots, there has been full scale increase in how much it costs to survive in Bermuda for everyone.
Emperor Burt threw Wilson in to shut down the scandals of what happened quickly. Why couldn’t he trust anyone else? What does Wilson have on him to get 2 ministries.
Hopefully, in her new post, she won’t reply to every question with “I don’t have that information in front of me”.
Congratulations and best wishes Minister Wilson on the appointment of your new ministry!! Such an inspiration!!
Another Bus Job.
Sad.
Bermuda, where the Peter Principle reigns supreme. She did a bang-up job with Bermuda’s healthcare. Who can forget her performance (sarcasm) during the pandemic?
As Attorney General, will she require everyone under her purview to pay their mountain of parking tickets?
Please help me consider what the justification might be for having paid a separate person fully for the role of Attorney General when that role can now be done as a part-time role by another government Minister? Or does this mean that Minister Wilson assumes the role of Attorney General at half pay for the role? How does this work?
