Kamina Johnson Smith
Pressure is mounting on Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade Minister, Senator Kamina Johnson Smith to name the Opposition senator who she claimed harassed her several years ago.
The People’s National Party (PNP) is demanding that Johnson Smith, who is also Leader of Government Business in the Senate, release the emails allegedly sent by an Opposition senator, to publicly prove that she was harassed.

“Firstly, the Opposition is of the firm view that any allegation of harassment against women must be pursued as a matter of course.
