Prime Minister Mia Mottley has expressed “deep sadness” at the passing of former Democratic Labour Party (DLP) senator and government minister Arni Walters.

 

“His contributions will never be forgotten,” Mottley said in a statement on Monday, adding that, in keeping with precedent, Walters as a former Member of Parliament will be accorded an official funeral.

Walters died on Sunday.

 

The prime minister noted that Walters had a long career in industrial relations and human resources, and served Barbados at high levels as a senator and minister of state in the Prime Minister’s Office, with responsibility for employment, labour relations, and the social partnership. He also served as minister of state for labour and immigration.

 

Mottley extended condolences on behalf of the government and people of Barbados to Walters’ widow, Anita; his children Ian, Denise, and Catherine; his siblings Kenneth, Diane, and June, as well as “the many friends and colleagues who will mourn his passing”.
