Prime Minister Patrick Manning is vowing to deal with the call by the Law Association for the removal of Attorney General John Jeremie as soon as he returns home from duty abroad.

Describing the lawyers as ’politicians’ here yesterday, where he is attending the 30th conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (Caricom), Manning said he planned to address the issue directly on his return from the summit.

Manning’s comment came a day after Works Minister Colm Imbert also labelled Wednesday’s vote of no-confidence against Jeremie as more an expression of political bias than the dispassionate conclusion of a learned society.

Imbert’s views came on Thursday, after the passing of the no-confidence motion by a vote of 106 for/82 against by attorneys against Jeremie at the specially convened meeting at the Hall of Justice.

Speaking at yesterday’s post-Cabinet news conference at the Diplomatic Centre, Imbert stated: ’Approximately 100 persons voted for this motion of no confidence against the Attorney General and the inescapable conclusion that one must draw is that most of that 100 were persons politically opposed to the People’s National Movement. And therefore the vote must be taken in context. It was not a dispassionate discussion by a learned society dealing with some academic or esoteric thing. It was a group of politicians who voted against other politician from an opposing political party.’
