ST. GEORGE’S, Grenada, CMC – Prime Minister Dr. Keith Mitchell has named Dr. Cecile La Grenade, a United States trained food technologist, as the Grenada’s new Governor General. In a nationwide radio and television broadcast on Tuesday night, Mitchell, whose government came to office seven weeks ago after sweeping all the 15 seats in the general elections, said the first ever female Governor General will replace Sir Carlyle Glean “who has expressed the desire to step down at the earliest convenient date. “The government has put the motion in train, with a view to having a new Head of State in place in the very early days of May,” Mitchell said, noting that “with more women in our parliament than ever before, it is fitting that we will have our first female Governor General.
