At­tor­ney Gen­er­al Faris Al-Rawi is not go­ing any­where.

This, even as a po­lice in­ves­ti­ga­tion in­to the trans­fer of a ve­hi­cle by At­tor­ney Gen­er­al Faris Al-Rawi to for­mer Po­lice Ser­vice Com­mis­sion­er Roger Kawals­ingh in 2016 con­tin­ues. Ques­tions have arisen to why the AG has not been asked to step down or take a leave of ab­sence un­til it is con­clud­ed.

In re­spond­ing to this on Sat­ur­day, the prime min­is­ter said, “I will do what has to be done. If there is a re­quire­ment for a min­is­ter to be re­moved from the Cab­i­net for mis­con­duct, ask any of them, I will be the first to re­move them. But I am sup­posed to re­move Faris be­cause Kam­la write a let­ter? That is grounds alone not to even look at it.”

Urg­ing the coun­try to “Ig­nore the dotish­ness, the lies, the mis­in­for­ma­tion and fo­cus on what is re­al and of sub­stance in this coun­try,” Row­ley swore to keep those who lie and steal out of the cor­ri­dors of pow­er in this coun­try.

In Oc­to­ber 2021, Op­po­si­tion Leader Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar wrote the Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er a 24-point sub­mis­sion, seek­ing a probe of Al-Rawi’s al­leged il­le­gal trans­fer of the ve­hi­cle and fail­ure to no­ti­fy the Trans­port Com­mis­sion­er on the change of own­er­ship.
