The Attorney General said “I am delighted, and honoured, to have the opportunity to serve again as Acting Governor, having done so once before, in 1989. During my short tenure of office, I shall devote myself to pressing ahead, in company with Councillors and the public service, with established policies towards the overall strategic objective of creating a prosperous, peaceful and democratic society for all, achieved through sustainable economic, environmental and social development leading to a healthy and eventually financially independent St Helena. In particular, I expect this to be a busy period in pushing forward our ambitions in terms of air access.”
