Polye calls on young lawyers to defend constitution

​Opposition Leader Don Pomb Polye has urged young law graduates to defend and uphold the constitution.

He said the country’s judiciary system has been brought into question following the arrest of a senior lawyer and one of the country’s senior judges.

“We must not allow the rule of law, the constitution, organic law and the acts of Parliament, among others, to erode,” Polye warned.

He also urged young lawyers coming out of the law school not to deviate from defending the constitution.

He said they must live by the principles of law, which is derived from the Word of God.

“I am equally concerned about what’s happening to our country, especially the conduct of certain people entrusted to uphold the laws of this land.

“We cannot call ourselves sovereign nation or an independent nation unless our laws are upheld, executed, enforced and the people made to comply with the laws,” said Polye.
