It is clear to many of us that both the approach made to the Chair of the Police Service Commission by an unnamed public official and her subsequent actions were questionable and probably involved breaches of the Constitution. Admirably, she has resigned. She is due our gratitude and thanks for that.
I can sympathise with the Chair to the extent that the unnamed public official probably made the Chair feel intimidated. I have already asked who is the unnamed official who so blatantly interfered with the performance of her duty. He or she must be unmasked and his/her identity revealed to us.
She was the last remaining member on the PolSC board after the resignations of Courtney McNish, Dr Susan Craig-James and Roger Kawalsingh over the past week.
