Prime Minister Tillman Thomas confirmed to journalist Linda Straker that he advised Governor General Sir Carlyle Glean to revoke the senatorial position of his junior Tourism and Culture minister.

This comes just two days after Grenada’s Minister of Tourism, Civil Aviation and Culture, Hon. Peter David tendered his resignation on Monday 30th April, 2012, after comments being made by Information Minister Hon. Glen Noel that David and others are plotting to remove the current Prime Minister Tillman Thomas as leader.
