Yesterday on the news, we focuses din on the remarks made by the Attorney General Wilfred Elrington at the ceremonial opening of the Supreme Court. Referring to the Bar Association's complaint about the administration of the court of appeal, he said it was a matter of "above his payscale." Today we asked him to elaborate on that:

Hon. Wilfred Elrington - Attorney General

"Really and truly all the appointments with respect to judges and court of appeal and a like is a prime ministered...."

Jules Vasquez

"But it's an administrative problem not an appointment problem."

Hon. Wilfred Elrington

"It may well be an administrative problem but it is an administrative problem that is newly dealt with the prime minister's level not the attorney."

Jules Vasquez

"I thought you administered the entire justice system as attorney general?"

Hon. Wilfred Elrington

"That is not true, that is not so at all. As a matter of fact I hardly have interaction with the court of appeal."
