Former Justice minister Prakash Ramadhar has come out in defence of the Judiciary, warning that allegations against judicial officers must be grounded in evidence and due process, as public debate continues over intelligence reports alleging that a magistrate was involved in money laundering and formed part of an alleged conspiracy.
Speaking at a media conference in San Fernando yesterday, Ramadhar said while anyone found guilty of wrongdoing should face the full force of the law, unsubstantiated allegations could cause lasting damage to public confidence in the Judiciary, one of the country’s most important democratic institutions.
