Four years after the government promised legislation to wipe certain offences from criminal records, Minister in the Ministry of the Attorney General and Legal Affairs (AGLA) Renuka Sagramsingh-Sooklal says the AG's office is still working on it.

The Criminal Records (Rehabilitation of Offenders) bill will allow minor convictions to be expunged from a person's criminal record if they are not convicted of a serious offence during a set rehabilitation period.

The bill was first outlined in a letter to the speaker of the house dated January 13, 2021, by then-attorney general Faris Al-Rawi.
