Opposition Leader Dr Keith Rowley told the media Tuesday President George Maxwell Richards must revoke the appointment of Police Service Commission (PSC) chairman Nizam Mohammed for "acting irresponsibly".
Rowley said such a move would protect the PSC, the presidency and also prevent others from following Mohammed's example of racial divisiveness.
"I have every confidence that the President will act to protect the presidency of Trinidad and Tobago because that is where that matter is now," Rowley said at a media briefing following a meeting with the president.
Rolwey said he met the president to discuss Mohammed statements last Friday to the Joint Select Committee (JSL) of parliament about what he said was an ethnic imbalance in the police service which he hopes to correct "with the assistance of the Parliament".
Rowley noted that Mohammed's statements brought about widespread condemnation from the Opposition and almost all elements within the Government.
He said after Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar condemned Mohammed's statements as , calling them "reckless" and "divisive", any person recognising the institutional requirements would have left.
