The Editor, Sir:
I am not usually a fan of Ms. Dawn Ritch, but her article last Sunday was spot on.
The Prime Minister has certainly given credence to the title attached to him by the PNP, i.e. Mr. Flip Flop. Mr. Golding, who prior to the election, preached tirelessly about strengthening the Constitution, seems to be ignoring certain provisions to suit his own purposes or preferences.
I am particularly concerned about his treatment of the recommendation made by the Public Service Commission of Professor Stephen Vasciannie as the next Solicitor General. Ms. Ritch is correct: "If we allow the Prime Minister to disregard the recommendations of the body constitutionally responsible for making sensitive civil service appointments and protecting the holders of office from political interference," we would be going down a dangerous road.
I am, etc.,
S. KENNEDY
