The apparent wrangling between Chief Justice Ivor Archie and Director of Public Prosecutions Roger Gaspard SC is being seen as evidence of the country’s failing institutions.

As such Political Leader of the Movement for Social Justice David Abdullah is reiterating his call for the establishment of what he describes   as the second Republic.

Addressing a virtual news conference yesterday Mr. Abdullah said it speaks of failure.

Mr. Abdullah said it is time to revisit the constitutional arrangements in the country.

Senior Council Gaspard responded to the Chief Justice in a stinging eight-page missive on Saturday in which he challenged Justice Archie’s position on responsibility for the near collapse of the justice system.

Mr. Gaspard described the claim made by the CJ during the opening of the law term as spectacularly disingenuous and misleading.
