Ramlogan: I will learn from others' mistakes

In­com­ing At­tor­ney Gen­er­al Anand Ram­lo­gan has said he will stand for jus­tice, equal­i­ty and fair play and would learn from his pre­de­ces­sors' mis­takes. Ram­lo­gan, 37, al­so told re­porters yes­ter­day he was await­ing the ap­point­ments of the Min­is­ters for Jus­tice and Le­gal Af­fairs to col­lab­o­rate ef­forts to be­gin try­ing to de­liv­er bet­ter crim­i­nal jus­tice for T&T. He said: "The same is­sues I fought for–jus­tice, equal­i­ty, fair play–those will re­main the same pri­or­i­ties as At­tor­ney Gen­er­al for this new ad­min­is­tra­tion.

"I look for­ward to deep­en­ing the per­son­al and pro­fes­sion­al re­la­tion­ship I en­joyed with the Chief Jus­tice in deep­en­ing the ad­min­is­tra­tion of jus­tice." Ram­lo­gan said the Peo­ple's Part­ner­ship Gov­ern­ment would re­spect and re­in­force the in­de­pen­dence of the ju­di­cia­ry and there would be no in­ter­fer­ence. He said the ju­di­cia­ry would be pro­vid­ed with bet­ter re­sources and tech­nol­o­gy.

He said the Gov­ern­ment would have to pro­vide the ju­di­cia­ry with fund­ing for de­vel­op­ing that sec­tor. Ram­lo­gan al­so said it would be a co-or­di­nat­ed ef­fort, lead­ing to a part­ner­ship that would be a "for­mi­da­ble as­sault on in­jus­tice and so­cial in­equity." He added he would learn from his pre­de­ces­sors' mis­takes and would "walk the straight and nar­row path and ob­serve the high­est ethics and con­sti­tu­tion­al prin­ci­ples meant to un­der­pin the sep­a­ra­tion of pow­ers and con­sti­tu­tion­al arrange­ments un­der which we op­er­ate our par­lia­men­tary sys­tem."
