Ethically questionable is subjective. If anybody were to restrict themselves from what is ethical questionable would they use electricity and ICE cars because of the carbon footprint? Would they eat meat? Would they drink alcohol? Ethics are so variable that nobody could go through their day without violating somebody else's ethics.
The laws of the country are more serious than anybody's ethics. So when faced with investigations that show that illegality was done, you respond with "but he do something unethical!" That is a ruse.
There isn't a leader who hasn't done something unethical, I have a problem with a leader doing something illegal.
Let's get something very clear here.
Ethics are not subjective. Ethics are, broadly speaking, a generally accepted set of rules and guidelines understood and accepted by a group of people in order to ensure that the actions of those in their field do not tarnish the reputation of the entire group.
There are codes of conduct and ethical standards for a great many careers, doctors, accountants, lawyers, engineers, research scientists, etc , and the people who work in their respective fields generally adhere to such codes and standards, in the understanding that these things keep the reputations of those pereons in these careers in.good standing and at a high standard, and clear of disrepute.
You seem to be confusing ethics with morality.
But even if you are, you can rest assured, politicians, and anybody aspiring to get into politics, generally possess neither ethics nor morality. They tend to be intentionally bankrupt of both, and history has supplied quite a lot of evidence to prove this beyond doubt.

You wrong like an O
But I don't want to get distracted by this rabbit hole.
Back to the point at hand, the CoP is the ultimate person responsible for FUL according to the law. Investigations has shown ppl underage, criminal charges and under criminal investigations got FULs. When one expects he should account for his tenure he throws out a red herring for ppl who never like the PM from day 1. You can be distracted by that if you want.
I am concerned about the objective illegality that the investigation shows. That could never be compared to the subjective ethics that the CoP and PM are involved in. In fact it further puts the CoP under scrutiny.

Yes and when he said "they" he was refering to Joe Biden writing in the 2nd Amendment 1791, that is why he is so old.

Hosein said that the commission should reopen its investigation based on the latest information, as the property was purchased during the period when the application inquiries were allegedly made.
“I am calling on the Integrity Commission today, on behalf of the citizens of T&T, that they ought to investigate this matter in light of these circumstances that have come into the public domain,” Hosein said.
He stated that he was not casting aspersions, as the commission should determine whether there was wrongdoing. “Let them determine what the facts of the matter are,” he said.
Hosein questioned whether Rowley had followed up on FUL applications for any other citizen. “Has the Prime Minister now reduced the Office of the Prime Minister to the role of a caddy boy?” he asked.
Referring to newspaper reports of citizens filing lawsuits over delays by the Office of the Police Commissioner in deciding their applications, Hosein said, “How many other persons were denied or applications were languishing and they have to go to court?”
Hosein noted that in an interview in the Sunday Express, Warner denied requesting Rowley and Young’s assistance in following up on his applications. Warner also revealed that he applied for the FUL after he was robbed twice at gunpoint.
“Were they acting on their own volition? That makes it worse,” Hosein said. Hosein questioned why Young was checking on the blasting licence, as he noted that such did not fall under the purview of his then-ministry.
“Blasting permits are issued under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) by the Police Commissioner with advice from the chief factory inspector. The Ministry of National Security has no role to play with blasting permits,” Hosein said.

BTW only the Commissioner of Police is responsible for FULs, nobody else.

Hi Team,
May i ask how do we know for sure that none of these 5,000 issuances were used to commit crimes based on our homicide clearance rate?
