(Trinidad Express) As the midnight deadline for the nomination of a new President neared last night, queries were raised as to whether Justice Anthony Carmona met the constitutional requirements to assume the post.
Attorney General Anand Ramlogan yesterday admitted legal advice was sought from three senior legal luminaries to determine whether Carmona can legally become this country’s next President.
In a release issued at 6.36 p.m., the Attorney General responded to concerns that Carmona did not meet the constitutional requirement that he be resident of this country for ten years preceding the date of his nomination as President.
