Do you think the AG and Volney should resign?

[zoom rader]

@zoom, Still think the majority win of the pp last elections shows that tribal race behaviour more rampant on unc side than pnm side and the party can't be as bad as you make it out to be if it's supporters are capable of voting for greater good rather than its WTN

Its simple, if the PNM begins to show equal treatment for all citizens of diffrent races then I am sure it wont have tribal voting.
Rowley and Hinds not showing this behaviour and this is why the people will not vote for the PNM. People will vote in their comfort zone, the PNM is not veiwed as that zone for non Afros.

This is how tribal politics is perpetuated today. Pit one ethnicity against another. Throw a major spanner in the wheel of forward thinking. Thats the sort of thinking that users like uml and zoom zader subscribe to. They will want to justify jw statement by countering with baseless claims from dr eric williams days to the present. The fear of other ethnicities is what they have been fed by their caregivers and in turn they try to feed other people with it

and ollur think is joke wid these people? people like zoom zader and the pnm-ites should be placed on a boat with a slow leak and pushed into the atlantic.

[nemisis]

zoom and the like grew up and were thought to look at skin color before all else as a result they live with the assumption that's how everyone else operate. They also strive to teach their children this archaic social system of skin color before merit.

As I said before we need these old boys to die out and get some of the more well rounded youths who grew up mixed among the races as comrades to lead instead of fattening the pockets of "their own" and throwing pittances at the rest in an attempt to secure a second term.

Interesting choice of words by Nalini Dial who resigned from COP/UNC.

blah blah blah

She said that in addition she now had “to endure the misdeeds committed by some in my own party, during our National Executive Election. I witnessed the biasness and preferential treatment given to a particular candidate, by the Election Commission.” Dial said, “I am forced to conclude, that the COP has completely lost its way.”

Former justice minister Herbert Volney has
commended Attorney General Anand Ramlogan
on his initiative to improve legislation governing
the return of retired judges to legal practice. The
existing legislation, Volney explained, bars
retired judges from returning to represent
clients for ten years after their
retirement. Volney said the current Judges and
(Salaries and Pensions) Regulations were
“arguably unconstitutional.”
“It is discriminatory treatment meted out to
those in the legal practice,” Volney said. “The AG
is seeking to diminish the time so the impact on
retired judges would not be as grave.”
Volney retired at 57 to become Justice
Minister
“And I cannot practise for ten years, which is
the better years, it could be argued, that I can
practise law again. It is unfair and unjust. What
the AG is hoping to do is increase the retirement
age from 65 to 70 for judges, and then reduce
the prohibition from ten years to three years. I
fully endorse that because it now allows me to
return to practice and make a living,” he
said. Volney said after age 75, lawyers are “not
as attractive” to new clients as younger lawyers.
The Sunday Guardian learned that the soon-to-
be amended legislation has already got the
approval of the Law Association, and its
president Seenath Jairam confirmed that
recommendations have already been forwarded
to the AG’s office.
Expected changes to the existing legislation
include:
1. A reduction of the post-retirement
constitutional bar which disqualifies judges from
practising law for ten years to a more
reasonable and practical time of between three
and five years
2. A bill before Parliament to make substantial
improvements to judges’ pension and retirement
benefits.
3. Increase age of retirement from 65 to 70 with
the consultation and subsequent approval of the
Judicial and Legal Service Commission
4. The Government’s acceptance of the latest
Salaries Review Commission report which has
increased the salaries and allowances for all
judicial officers
5. Substantial increase of the budget for the
judiciary
