Interpreting the law

Since the PNM came into power, and has all this money flowing out of it's wazoo, it has been interpreting the law to suit its own agenda. Especially when it comes to hiding things. And the sadder news is that most of the regulatory bodies have been aiding and abetting the political agenda of the PNM.

Take Glenda Morean, former Attorney General and now ambassador to the UK. So strong in the belief that the law does not apply to her.
FORMER Attorney General Glenda Morean-Phillips has to file her declaration of income and assets for 2003, with the Integrity Commission. Morean-Phillips, appointed TT’s High Commissioner to the UK in November 2003, has refused to file her declaration saying she did not have to, because she did not fall within the period for filing for 2003.
Which basically mean that going on to 4 years now she has not filed her declaration of assets as required by law, but also openly challenges the constitution and law.

Yet, unlike Basdeo Panday, Morean is not brought to account by the Integrity Commission. Is there a racist or political agenda here? Was Panday singled out because he is Indian, or UNC? The law can only be interpreted one way, yet here we have multiple laws (or should I say multiple interpretations?) for nearly every face of society.

I shudder to think of the consequences should either scenario be right.
