NASSAU, BAHAMAS — A swearing-in ceremony was held at Magistrate’s Court #9 yesterday for six new Family Island administrators, who will commence their duties on March 1.
The new administrators are: Millie Dawkins (Mayaguana), Bradford McKenzie (Acklins), Dale K Gelin (Cat Island), Kathy V Smith (City of Freeport), Margaret Symonette (District of Central Eleuthera) and Deborah Mosey-Rolle (Exuma).
Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt conducted the ceremony, which was also attended by Director of Local Government Brenda Colebrooke
During the ceremony, Ferguson-Pratt challenged the administrators to always remain within the parameters of the law and warned them about compromising themselves as they carried out their duties.
“Always hold the highest of standards and govern your personal life in such a way that that you do not bring disrepute to your office,” said the chief magistrate.
“The judicial oath that you are taking is the same that all leaders in the country, including Cabinet ministers and judges, take. The only difference is the post that you will occupy.”
Ferguson-Pratt also congratulated them for having been appointed to their new posts and told them that someone has reposed confidence in them so they should carry out their duties at the highest standards.
Colebrooke noted additional administrators are expected to be sworn in during the upcoming months.
