Police Commission Silence Sparks Crisis | Trinidad and Tobago News

The opposition is demanding answers from the Police Service Commission over a constitutional loophole: why no acting Commissioner of Police was appointed while Alistair Guevarro was abroad. Former minister Marvin Gonzales insists Section 123 of the Constitution mandates an acting CoP during absence — and Parliament’s recess isn’t a valid excuse. Questions swirl around Guevarro’s sudden departure, his emergency leave request, and whether it was for official or personal reasons. Complicating matters, Deputy Commissioner Benjamin signed legal notices as acting CoP — but without a formal appointment, their validity is in serious doubt. The opposition wants full transparency now. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
