Prime Minister and Minister for National Security, Dr. the Right\u00a0 Honourable Keith Mitchell has welcomed the appointment of Grenada\u2019s first female\u00a0 Attorney General, Dia Forrester and the confirmation of Edvin Martin to the position of Commissioner of Police.<\/p>\n
In an interview on the MTV programme, Perspectives, Dr. Mitchell said both individuals\u00a0 have demonstrated a high level of professionalism and he is confident of their ability to\u00a0 serve adequately in their respective capacities.<\/p>\n
Speaking specifically about the new Attorney General, Dia Forrester, who previously\u00a0 served as the Solicitor General, Dr. Mitchell said the feedback from people in the legal\u00a0 profession, staff in the Ministry of Legal Affairs and others in the public service with whom\u00a0 she interacted, is that she is a well-respected professional.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cShe is deemed to be a professionally strong person and is well-poised to give\u00a0 guidance to the Government in the area of legal affairs. She has demonstrated\u00a0 considerable honesty and integrity that is certainly what we want in the office of the\u00a0 Attorney General. We are extremely lucky to have her, she is young and has the right\u00a0 energy for the job. In my own interaction with her, I have found her to be very honest and\u00a0 straightforward, not one for political games.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister commended the work of the outgoing Attorney General, Darshan\u00a0 Ramdhani whom he said provided tremendous support to the Government and wished\u00a0 him well in his return to private practice.<\/p>\n
With respect to the confirmation of the Commissioner of Police, Dr. Mitchell said, \u201cHe has acted for a reasonable period of time and has demonstrated the required level of\u00a0 professionalism. I believe the Commissioner must be independent because the person is\u00a0 responsible for protecting all of the citizens in the country, irrespective of their religious\u00a0 and political views and other social considerations. So far, Commissioner Martin has\u00a0 demonstrated that type of behaviour and attitude. Therefore in my view, the Public\u00a0 Service Commission did the right thing by confirming him in that position to give some\u00a0 certainty to the leadership of the police force, which is a critical area of national security.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
