ACCORDING to a photograph on the FNM's website, newly retired Ambassador to China, Elma Campbell, took part in the FNM South Beach constituency opening on February 21. FNM Senator Dion Foulkes revealed that Mrs Campbell resigned her post on January 31. She, therefore, had not attended a political function as a sitting ambassador. Mrs Campbell's presence at the FNM event was a source of heated exchange in the Senate yesterday after PLP Allyson Maynard-Gibson sought to table a photograph of her. She was stopped by Senate President Lynn Holowesko who said she would not rule on the matter until investigations were launched to determine the photo's date and authenticity. In last week's senate session, questions concerning the number of sitting ambassadors were raised by opposition members. However, comments were expunged and would remain so, said Senate President Holowesko, until hard evidence of the allegations could be produced.
