Government needs to stay far away from the controversy currently surrounding the attempted removal of Commissioner of Police Darwin Dottin.
The advice has come from outspoken former Attorney General and retired Appeal Court judge, Sir Frederick “Sleepy” Smith.
According to Sir Frederick, if either Prime Minister Freundel Stuart or Attorney General Adriel Brathwaite got involved, it could amount to “serious political interference”.
He issued the warning yesterday as he spoke to men who attended the third and final legal clinic hosted by the Men’s Educational Support Association (MESA).
“Government should have no reason to get involved in the matter at this stage,” Sir Frederick said in the hall of the school named after him (formerly St James Secondary). “If they get involved now, I would call it political interference.”
