High Court upholds Prisons Commissioner’s challenge of promotions
Acting Prisons Commissioner Deopersad Ramoutar has won another round of litigation against the Public Service Commission (PSC) over the filling of senior vacancies in the T&T Prison Service. In a judgment on Monday, High Court Judge Nadia Kangaloo upheld Ramoutar’s lawsuit, in which he challenged a decision by the PSC to “skip ranks” by seeking to fill the position of deputy commissioner without first addressing vacancies at the lower ranks of senior superintendent and assistant commissioner. Ramoutar, who has been acting in a position four times higher than his substantive rank of superintendent for more than two years, claimed the PSC breached...

George: Easier to appoint a President than Police Commissioner
Attorney and former Police Service Commission member Martin George, says the Opposition has valid concerns about the selection process of the acting commissioner of police and deputy police commissioners.

George, who spoke on the issue during an interview on CNC3’s The Morning Brew yesterday, said concerns by the Opposition that someone who is not on the merit list could be appointed are justified. “If it is you are talking specifically about pulling persons from the merit list, that...

Tobago Business Chamber: ‘Why didn’t CoP meet with us on her visit?’
THE TOBAGO Business Chamber has questioned why it was not included in a meeting with Police Commissioner Erla Harewood-Christopher during her visit to the island on March 13. Harewood-Christopher met in a closed-door discussion with members of the Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce at its headquarters, Ansa McAl Building, Milford Road, Scarborough. She did so as a follow-up to a request from the chamber, which, over the past few months, has been calling for a meeting with her to discuss the crime situation on the island. Tobago has already recorded six murders for 2024. But the Tobago Business Chamber, chaired by attorney...
