Chief Secretary Farley Augustine also announced that he will step down as Finance Secretary. Community Development and Sport Secretary Terance Baynes was moved to the Infrastructure Division as an assistant secretary and appointed deputy presiding officer.

Former acting police commissioner Stephen Williams says now that Police Commissioner Erla Harewood-Christopher has a full complement of deputies to assist her, judging her performance going forward will be more impartial.   In a telephone interview with Guardian Media yesterday, Williams said policing was a team effort, and for her first year, she was without confirmed deputies and even acting deputies.   Earlier this year, Parliament approved the positions of Deputy Commissioner of Police for Junior Benjamin, Suzette Martin, and Natasha George.   “The organisation has a whole new executive leadership team just installed. It is not about one person; it is about a team. It...

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: THA not liable in shark attack

Attorney-at-law Martin George said the shark attack suffered by British tourist Peter Smith was an isolated event and does not open up the Tobago House of Assembly (THA) to liability. George, the chairman of the Tobago Business Chamber, said the High Court had previously found the THA liable for injuries suffered by Yanik Quesnel and Spanish national Ana Carolina Barry-Laso, who suffered cuts and broken bones from a passing pirogue’s propeller blades at Pigeon Point, Tobago, in 2007. Quesnel had to use a wheelchair following the mishap, while Barry-Laso walked with a limp. In her ruling, Justice Judith Jones found that the...

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. On Friday, the Opposition rejected the Constitution (Amendment) Bill, which sought to allow the Police Service Commission (PolSC) to appoint acting commissioners without the approval of the House of Representatives. 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...
