Citing a number of errors which it is contending the Chief Justice made, the opposition APNU+AFC has filed an appeal to the ruling upholding the President’s appointment of Clifton Hicken to act as Commissioner of Police.
The opposition is of the view that the Chief Justice’s ruling “was against the weight of the evidence,” and has previously described it as “too grave to be left standing.”
Filed in the name of its Chief Whip Christopher Jones, the main opposition is arguing among other things that acting Chief Justice Roxane George SC erred in law when she held that the President was vested with the authority to make an acting appointment to the office of Commissioner of Police under Article 111 of the Constitution.
