Marlene Mcdonald Obituary, Death Cause – The passing of Marlene McDonald, who had previously served as a minister in the administration and as a member of parliament for Port of Spain South, has occurred. Loop News was informed by the People’s National Movement (PNM) that McDonald, who had previously served as the deputy political leader of the party, had passed away earlier on Friday for unknown reasons. McDonald, who has encountered difficulties with his health in the past, had been ill for a considerable amount of time.
A common-law husband and a stalwart member of the People’s National Movement (PNM) were taken into custody in August 2019 on charges of money laundering, conspiracy to defraud, and misconduct in public office. Transactions involving illegal property valued at more than one million dollars and fraudulent activities performed against the state are the subjects of the charges, which are said to have been undertaken between the years 2008 and 2009.
The Director of Public Prosecutions filed a motion in September 2022 to have the matter transferred to the High Court, notwithstanding the fact that the misbehavior allegation that had been brought against the former minister was abandoned. In accordance with the records of Parliament, McDonald was initially elected to the House of Representatives on November 5, 2007, serving as the Member for Port-of-Spain South. At the same time, she was designated Minister of Community Development, Culture, and Gender Affairs.
Between the years 2010 and 2015, she held the role of Chief Whip in the Opposition. It was on September 7, 2015 when McDonald was re-elected to his position in the House of Representatives of the 11th Parliament. She was appointed Minister of Housing and Urban Development four days later, and she remained in that capacity until March 16, 2016, when she ultimately resigned.
The next day, on July 2, 2019, she was given the position of Minister of Public Utilities, and she continued to serve in that capacity until February 28, 2018, when she was given the position of Minister in the Ministry of Public Administration and Communications. A little more than a month later, she was appointed Minister of Public Administration and Communications, and then on June 7, 2018, she was promoted to the position of Minister of Public Administration by the government.
