SUSPENDED Police Commissioner Erla Harewood-Christopher will have to wait a little longer to see if she was successful in her challenge of the Police Service Commission’s (PSC) authority to suspend her in light of an ongoing investigation into the procurement of sniper rifles for the Strategic Services Agency (SSA).

High Court judge Christopher Sieuchand was expected to deliver his ruling on April 15. It has since been deferred. A notice from the judge’s team advised that the decision is now expected to be delivered to the parties by e-mail in due course.

Harewood-Christopher was granted leave to challenge the legality of her suspension on February 5; however, she failed to convince the judge to keep the office vacant until his ruling. On the same day, Parliament approved the motion for DCP Junior Benjamin to act as commissioner.
