While stressing that he was committed to fulfilling his constitutional responsibilities, President Irfaan Ali on Friday signaled that he would be willing to engage Opposition Leader Joseph Harmon on the long overdue substantive appointments of top judicial officers.
“I am fully committed to abiding by every aspect of the constitution. There is no precondition to fulfilling my mandate in accordance with the constitution. What I know is that you have a president who will fulfill his constitutional mandate and my constitutional mandate in the appointment of various constitutional office holders will be done in full conformity with the requirements of the constitution. I can assure you this,” Ali told a news conference.
