PM dismisses objection to Grenadian attorney for position as magistrate

ROSEAU, Dominica, CMC – Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has described as “pure mischief” the decision of a radio talk show host to write the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court (ECSC) objecting to the appointment of former Grenada government minister as a magistrate in Dominica. Attorney Arley Gill was scheduled to have taken up his appointment earlier this month, even as Attorney General, Levi Peter, speaking on the state-owned DBS radio last week acknowledged there were some matters to be clarified. “I don’t understand why this has not yet been clarified and why the hold-up. There should have been no hiccups … I will say no more until I satisfy myself that they are some good reasons for the delay,” he said.
