Statement by former AG Anand Ramlogan
I understand and accept the decision of the Honourable Prime Minister to relieve me of my duties as a Senator and Attorney General. The Prime Minister has acted in the public interest to uphold the Constitution and the Rule of Law and I support these higher ideals.
The job of Attorney General is a challenging and difficult one. I was marked from the day I was appointed, as I became a favorite target of forces opposed to the Government. It has not been an easy ride but I am happy that I was given the opportunity to have been of service to my Government and country.
I wish to thank the many who supported me during my tenure. My accomplishments, dedication and hard work would not have been possible without their loyalty and commitment. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to serve in the Peoples’ Partnership administration and wish to reassure the Honourable Prime Minister, my Cabinet colleagues and the public that I remain firmly committed to building a better nation for our children to inherit.
As I did before, I shall continue to serve the less fortunate in our society as an attorney-at-law. I ask that due process be allowed to take its course so that the necessary investigations can be completed in a professional and expeditious manner. I am confident that the political conspiracy will be exposed justice will be done and that I will emerge victorious in the end.
