Defend judges from political interference, bullying

The PPP/C is “very concerned” about the state of the judiciary following the courtroom clash between Attorney-General Basil Williams, SC, and Justice Franklyn Holder, Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo said yesterday, while exhorting the leadership of the judiciary to defend judges from political interference.

During a press conference at his Church Street office, Jagdeo said that the entire world recognizes that Williams must apologize for his behaviour, which he said has led the judge to recuse himself from a case that was being heard that at time.
