(Trinidad Express) Prime Minister Patrick Manning is vowing to deal with the call by the Law Association for the removal of Attorney General John Jeremie as soon as he returns home from duty abroad.
Describing the lawyers as “politicians” here on Friday, where he is attending the 30th conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (Caricom), Manning said he planned to address the issue directly on his return from the summit.
Manning’s comment came a day after Works Minister Colm Imbert also labelled Wednesday’s vote of no-confidence against Jeremie as more an expression of political bias than the dispassionate conclusion of a learned society.
Imbert’s views came on Thursday, after the passing of the no-confidence motion by a vote of 106 for/82 against by attorneys against Jeremie at the specially convened meeting at the Hall of Justice.
