Saying that there is no legal consequence for President Irfaan Ali on his choice of Deputy Commissioner Clifton Hicken for the position of acting Commissioner of Police, Attorney General Anil Nandlall says that the appointment was done in keeping with the constitution.
“No one can substitute their opinion or their choice for that of the President…. The President may choose who he wishes,” Nandlall said on his weekly ‘Issues in the News’ programme aired on his Facebook page.
Ali on Monday appointed Hicken to act as the country’s Commissioner of Police as his predecessor, Nigel Hoppie who held the position in an acting capacity heads into pre-retirement leave.
