Dear Editor,
You can believe me that I am not the smartest person. But for forty-one years I did the best job in the world. That job afforded me the opportunity to be involved in every last thing. My father pointed that out to me at one time and I disputed it until he asked me if I can arrest the queen.
After giving it some thought I mentioned the Attorney General. He said I expected you to go there but the Attorney General will not arrest her, he would send you to arrest the queen and you will bring her to him. Where am I going with this?
I believe that if someone approaches me to do no matter what, legally I have to be disciplined enough to know whether I am in a position to do it or not. So when I hear rumours that the present Chief of Police will be appointed Secretary General (a.i.) to the Minister of Justice I said to myself, when is it going to stop?
Because of past experience and because I have had to say “I told you so”, let me start by saying “things don’t go so”. Those two positions/functions are not compatible.
I can understand that the minister of justice and the chief commissioner want the same results, but the chief commissioner should not be the advisor. The chief commissioner will be advising the minister of justice on what steps to take against the chief commissioner and his police force. I have seen strange things happen here, so I hope this does not happen.
