The Judiciary of Trinidad and Tobago is condemning what it calls the unfortunate statements by the Minister of National Security.
In a brief release from its court and protocol unit on Thursday afternoon, the Judiciary acknowledged the statement of the Attorney General with regard to that of the National Security Minister but said ‘gratuitous’ statements such as those made by the National Security Minister, that is,” criminals have friends in the judiciary”, have a dangerous effect of undermining public trust and confidence in the judiciary and rule of law.” The judiciary said therefore such statements have no place in our society.
