Former Environmental Commission chairman Sunil Sookraj has filed a lawsuit against Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar and her Cabinet, over an alleged decision last year to revoke his reappointment.
The lawsuit reportedly challenges the Cabinet’s advice to the President to revoke Sookraj’s reappointment, on the grounds that he held “an interest which is incompatible with his judicial position and the function as a member of the commission.”
Lawyers from the Solicitor General’s Department in the Office of the Attorney General are reportedly basing their argument on evidence that can prove Sookraj’s attendance at meetings of the People’s National Movement (PNM) and/or involvement in campaign activities for the General Elections of 2015, 2020, and in particular, 2025.
