Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar has brushed aside crit­i­cisms from the Law As­so­ci­a­tion of Trinidad and To­ba­go (LATT) that the ap­point­ment of Jus­tice Ron­nie Boodoos­ingh as the na­tion’s ninth Chief Jus­tice was “a has­tened and trun­cat­ed process,” de­clar­ing she has “no re­gard for any­thing the eat-ah-food filth in the hi­er­ar­chy of the Law As­so­ci­a­tion says.”

LATT yes­ter­day ex­pressed con­cern over trans­paren­cy and con­sti­tu­tion­al con­sul­ta­tion in the ap­point­ment process.
