AG’s challenge is an abuse of court

Sep 22, 2012 News

 

Member of Parliament and Attorney-at-law, Basil Williams, says that the Attorney General’s recent challenge in the High Court to the Parliamentary ‘No Confidence’ motion against Minister Clement Rohee can be seen as an abuse of the Court.
According to Williams, the AG appears to be obsessed with disrupting and stymieing the business of the National Assembly. Williams said that it has always been a characteristic of the Marxist-Leninist PPP/C that if you cannot control it, then you must disable or interrupt it.
The AG’s malignant attitude to a well functioning National Assembly is in fact making him a “vexatious litigant”, Williams stated.
He said that it would appear that every time the PPP/C loses a vote in the National Assembly, the AG will seek recourse to the Court, despite the clear, pellucid and transparent previous rulings of the Learned Chief Justice, Mr. Ian Chang, that in the absence of a constitutional or statutory breach, the Courts have no jurisdiction to interfere with proceedings in Parliament, under the doctrine of the separation of powers.
Williams said that the learned Chief Justice, Ian Chang has refused to grant those orders or to set aside the composition of the Committee of Selection voted by the National Assembly.
Williams further stated that Attorney General Nandlall’s latest motion against the Leader of the Opposition, Brigadier David Granger, and the Speaker, Raphael Trotman, contending that the ‘No Confidence’ motion against Minister Clement Rohee is unconstitutional, null and void, and in breach of the doctrine of separation of powers, and is therefore an abuse of the process of the Court.
