The Law Association of Trinidad and Tobago has condemned what it described as “unwarranted attacks on the independence and integrity of the independent bench in the Senate,” warning that the trend of undermining public institutions must be “reined in.”
In a statement issued on July 6, the Association said it was “deeply concerned” by the public criticism levelled at independent senators who did not support the Prime Minister’s Pension (Amendment) Bill, 2025.
“Sadly, however, particularly where our public institutions and public figures are concerned, their independence and integrity are often called into question whenever they hold or express views or perspectives which differ from those of our politicians,” the release said. “This is a trend which must be reined in.”
