Dear Editor,
If my memory serves me right, there is a ‘dictat’ which speaks to public officials who have been charged for some offence or other to be interdicted from duty until the conclusion of the matter. At such time, depending on the result, the official is either fired or re-instated. This rule seems to be honoured more in the breach than in the observance as in this classic case of a serving member of the Judicial Service Commission and the Police Service Commission, both constitutional bodies that are advocates of the law. Mr. Duncan should not be allowed to continue in his substantive positions. Editor, you may wish to check on this and advise so that the public can be educated if the case is that we are harbouring sacred cows. Attorney-at-law (name supplied)
