I support Mr. Ramjeet’s Position

Feb 21, 2014 Letters

Dear Editor,
I can only add to the disgraceful issue where it seems there are no checks and balances on the excesses being perpetuated by persons in authority.  The case of the appointment of Justice of Appeal Sukul is a glaring case in point.  The Acting Chancellor seems to have unbridled power to appoint whom he wishes to the Judiciary without a proper functioning Judicial Service Commission as pointed out by Mr. Rampersaud.  The Bar Association has not appointed anyone for the President’s approval. I believe the person has to be a non practicing Attorney and I think Mr. Sase Narine, SC, former Speaker of the National Assembly, would be an excellent candidate.
In addition, the Acting Chancellor continues to dismiss and destroy the Judiciary and the protocols.  The Registrar’s Job Description calls for an Attorney at Law.  He sought to dispense with the service of Ms. Bibi Alli Attorney and former Registrar on what grounds no one knows and has banished her to New Amsterdam doing what no one knows.  He then appoints a Clerk in the person of a non Lawyer who is also a retiree, a Clerk in the Judiciary, Mr. Rashid Mohamed.  You would have thought with an abundance of Lawyers the Acting Chancellor could find a Lawyer to satisfy the Human Resources requirement. Yet again the Acting Chancellor flouts the protocol with impunity without so much as a murmur from the Bar Association, the Senior Counsels who should be the custodians of the legal system, Opposition and Government.
The Acting Chancellor is destroying the Judicial system.   When will this stop?  It is shameful coming after the Sukul affair, the backlog travesty where the Acting Chancellor also returned to the Bench in the High Court after Acting Chief Justice Chang was appointed to do so.
It is amazing that Acting Chancellor Carl Singh could claim in Kaieteur News that he “did not recommend Rabi Sukul”.  Everyone knows of the background and that there was no advertisement for the position of Court of Appeal Judge and the position was filled by Sole Selection by the Acting Chancellor and although he was interviewed, was anyone else interviewed – NO.
This is a disaster for a legal system.
