Ralph Ramkarran

Commentator Ralph Ramkarran has called for the expungement from the constitution of sweeping immunity provisions for the President.

In his column in today’s Sunday Stabroek, Ramkarran, a former two-term Speaker of the National Assembly said that he hoped that the constitutional reform commission that was recently established will rectify this travesty.

“Hopefully, the current Constitutional Reform Commission will recommend the cleansing of our Constitution of this diabolical travesty of equating our President to a monarch”, he said.
