Minister of Justice Delroy Chuck is to table a motion in Parliament next week which will seek to complete a parliamentary review of the operations of the Independent Commission of Investigations (INDECOM).
But the issue regained life recently when the United Kingdom Privy Council ruled against INDECOM prosecuting members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) for using violence against civilians.
The Government had intended to complete the processing of the report in Parliament in 2017; however, the Jamaica Police Federation, which represents the rank and file members of the JCF, took the matter to the local courts.
INDECOM lost the case at the local Appeal Court level and took the matter to the United Kingdom-based Privy Council , which also ruled in favour of the police on May 4 this year.
“The position is that I propose to bring next week a motion to bring the recommendation of the joint select committee to this Parliament so that we can debate the recommendations,” Chuck told the House of Representative in brief statement on the matter.
