Former Justice Minister wants AG sidelined during investigation
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – Former High Court judge Herbert Volney Tuesday called for the removal of Attorney General Anand Ramlogan from office, while police investigate allegations contained in emails purporting to show members of the coalition People’s Partnership government involved in attempts to undermine the judiciary, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the media.
Volney, a former justice minister, who was sacked by Prime Minister Kamla Persad Bissessar over the controversy that erupted after the early proclamation of Section 34 of the Administration of Justice (Indictable Proceedings) Act, said he cannot accept “the one who is most central in these emails, the honourable Attorney General can remain in the office of the Attorney General whilst such an investigation, very damaging in the allegations against him” remain in office.
