Governor of Saba Mr. Sydney Sorton for one year. Lt. Governor Sorton will be
celebrating his 60th birthday in the coming days and by law he would have had to
step down as Lt. Governor but the Kingdom Council of Ministers has found it fitting
to re-appoint him for another year.

first appointed to the position of Lt. Governor of Saba in 1989 and held that
position until 1995 and his second appointment came in 1995 until 1998. On April 1st
2006 he once again was appointed by the Kingdom Council of Ministers to serve as Lt.
Governor of Saba. With this appointment he has become one of the longest serving Lt.
Governors of Saba.
Many on the island is very much satisfied with the re-appointment of Lt. Governor
Sorton for another one year term in office and is satisfied that he will be the one
to help take the island into the new constitutional changes that will start taking
effect.
