Gail Teixeira

President Irfaan Ali is not required to give reasons to justify his choices for the filling of constitutional posts, according to Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance Gail Teixeira.

The minister’s comment comes more than one week after the first meeting between President Ali and Leader of the Opposition Aubrey Norton to commence the process of agreeing on the appointments to constitutional commissions. The May 13, 2022 meeting was a result of an invitation from President Ali to Norton.
