Dear Editor,
The appointment of Mr Ganga Persaud to the Judicial Service Commission in a seemingly stealthy and abrupt manner brings the government into serious disrepute since it was the same Ganga Persaud who was embroiled in the famous law contract scandal (involving a group of New York-based individuals close to the governing party) for which he was given a rap on the knuckles and then transferred to another post. He seems to have been the ‘fall guy’ for a contract involving higher officials in government.
Mr Ganga Persaud must be removed immediately if the integrity of the JSC is to be preserved, failing which the other members of the JSC should resign.
All organizations of national consequence should let their voices be heard in protest or face the consequences of such an appointment.
Yours faithfully
(Name and address supplied)
