examine the possibility of approaching Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley to initiate impeachment proceedings against the Chief Justice.<\/p>\n<p>In an email sent to its members, LATT secretary Elena Araujo said the committee set up to investigate the allegations would report to the Council on or before December 29 and two senior lawyers will be retained to advise on the question of whether there is sufficient basis to refer a question of misbehaviour by the Chief Justice to the Prime Minister for his consideration under Section 137 of the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>Araujo said that upon receiving the advice from the committee, the LATT will convene a meeting of the general membership to \u201cconsider such advice and obtain directions as to the way forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Chief Justice Archie, indicating that he is not at \u201cliberty\u2019 to say much at this time, denied media reports regarding the security of judges in Trinidad and Tobago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpecialised Units of the Trinidad and Tobago Protective Services and the Judiciary Security Unit are the only entities responsible for assessing and implementing arrangements for the personal security of Judges and Magistrate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is therefore false, and indeed irresponsible that at any Judge\u2019s meeting, the Chief or any other Judge discussed the retention of any private security firm for the purpose of providing the said personal security,\u201d Archie said in a brief statement.<\/p>\n<p>Media reports in recent days have linked Chief Justice Archie to discussing security arrangements for judges with a personal friend and last month, the friend, Dillian Johnson, told police that he had information on individuals who want to kill him.<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-2399543074\"
