Opposition Leader Mia Mottley has congratulated Justice Sandra Mason on her pending appointment as Governor General.

In a statement issued today, she said she was confident she was carry her impartiality into her new role.

Below is the full text of the statement.

On behalf of the Barbados Labour Party, I would like to warmly congratulate Madam Justice Sandra Mason on her appointment as Governor General.  This is a crowning achievement in a long and varied career in public service in Barbados, the region and internationally.

We are confident that she will bring to her office of Governor General the impartiality which is the hallmark of the other office which she held as a judicial officer in this country.    Indeed, Ms Mason has had many firsts, being the first female judge to be appointed to the Barbados Court of Appeal.  We look forward to her installation ceremony and to her tenure as Governor General of this great country of ours.

The people of St Philip and her family should be justifiably proud of her achievements as a daughter of the soil, as she is now the first person ever from that corridor of the island ever to be appointed to the highest office in the land.

Well done Ms Mason.
