Colonel Trevor MacMillan, a retired army officer and former police commissioner, takes his seat in the Senate, after being sworn in as an Opposition member of the Upper House.

After taking the oath of allegiance, the new senator was first welcomed by Senator Anthony Johnson, the leader of opposition business, and then by government senator Trevor Munroe. Senate President Syringa Marshall-Burnett formally welcomed Senator MacMillan, who replaced Norman Horne, the Opposition senator who resigned after falling out with the Jamaica Labour Party. Senator Johnson said he was sure that the contribution of Senator MacMillan, whom he described as a distinguished public servant, would be to the benefit "not only of this side, but to the chamber and to the good governance of all Jamaica". Senator Munroe, supporting Johnson's sentiments, said he was sure that the service Senator MacMillan had given to the security forces would redound to the benefit of the Senate.
