Norton signals court challenge as President appoints PSC, Integrity Commission

Anticipating the President’s intention to name  members of constitutional commissions in the absence of “meaningful consultation”, Leader of the Opposition Aubrey Norton has signalled that he will challenge the appointments.

President Irfaan Ali, less than an hour after Norton issued the warning at his weekly press conference yesterday, swore in the members of the Police Service Commission and Integrity Commission.

Patrick Findlay, Mark Conway, Hakeem Mohammed and Ernesto Choo-a-Fat were appointed to the Police Service Commission while Dr Kim Kyte-Thomas, Chandra Gajraj, Mohamed Ispahani Haniff, Hardesh Tewari and Wayne Bowman will serve on the Integrity Commission.
