Former PNC minister Dr Faith Harding died this afternoon at the St Joseph Mercy Hospital after a period of illness.
She was 67 years old.
Harding a psychologist, was Minister of Public Service in the PNC administration from 1989 to 1992 and was credited with reforming and transforming that ministry.
Harding worked with the UN serving in East Timor, Liberia and Sudan.
In 2011, she had contested for the presidential candidacy of the PNCR and lost to David Granger. This signalled her departure from the party after she levelled allegations of rigging at the party’s leadership during that contest.
Harding was married to miner Patrick Harding and was the mother of one son, Patrick Jnr.
