Ralph Ramkarran

Senior Counsel Ralph Ramkarran yesterday rapped President Irfaan Ali and his Cabinet over the continuing failure to make confirmed appointments to the top two posts in the judiciary and to recompose the Judicial Service Commission (JSC).

In his column in yesterday’s Sunday Stabroek, Ramkarran noted that President Ali had stated that he was not ready to deal with the appointments of a Chancellor of the Judiciary and a Chief Justice (CJ). Ramkarran, a former two-term Speaker of the National Assembly,  further pointed out that Ali has not given any indication of when he will be ready to address this matter.
