Opposition Leader Aubrey Norton is seeking answers from President Irfaan Ali about the constitutional basis for his appointment of Clifton Hicken as the acting Police Commissioner.

Norton’s questions come amid a June 29th letter to him from Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance, Gail Teixeira seeking “meaningful consultation” between him and the President on the appointment of a person to act in the Office of Commissioner of Police pursuant to Article 211 (2) of the Constitution.
