economist, former Senator and former Minister of Planning, Economic and Social Restructuring and Gender Affairs in the People's Partnership Government .

and is chairman of Mary King & Associates Ltd., a marketing research and business consulting company.
Mary King's appointment as Government Senator and Minister of Planning, Restructuring and Gender Affairs, was revoked by president Maxwell Richards on May 10th 2011, after a meeting with Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar. King was implicated in the inappropriate awarding of a $100,000 contract to a company, Ixanos, in which Mary King, and her husband, Dr St Clair King, have an interest. This is ironic, as King is involved in Transparency International.
