Heard Trevor Walker attack this decision. Found it hypocritical considering moving these decisions to the DPP, started under his predecessor Justin Simon. When Justin pushed it there was no issue, however when the ABLP push it (similar to the move to the CCJ), it then becomes an issue for UPP and their allies.
Is the DPP a lifetime appointment? It is very possible that he has outlived his objectivity?
This DPP has outlive his usefulness, he will remain forever stained after we say what Gaston had to say about him in the leaked whatsapp chat regarding Asot.
He then decided to harass UPP members over some old buses after a magistrate threw out the case.
This is the same DPP who has failed to persecute members of the cabol over misbehavior in public office
The AG should be none partisan…..
The same dpp the pm said is corrupt?
They say he is corrupt but they won’t ask for his removal. Is the game plan that there is some kind of ownership now at play?
