At­tor­ney Gen­er­al Anand Ram­lo­gan has dis­tanced him­self from "the sud­den, un­ex­plained dra­mat­ic ex­e­cu­tion" of a search war­rant on the News­day news­pa­per and the home of jour­nal­ist An­dre Ba­goo. In a re­lease is­sued yes­ter­day from his of­fice, Ram­lo­gan made it abun­dant­ly clear that whilst the An­ti Cor­rup­tion In­ves­ti­ga­tion Bu­reau (ACIB) is list­ed un­der the port­fo­lio of the At­tor­ney Gen­er­al, he has no ju­ris­dic­tion over this en­ti­ty. In the cir­cum­stances, the AG con­sid­ers the con­tin­ued re­ten­tion of the ACIB un­der his port­fo­lio to be an em­bar­rass­ment and has asked Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er Dwayne Gibbs to as­sume full con­trol for this unit. "It is in dire need of strong lead­er­ship and re­struc­tur­ing and thus far, the diplo­mat­ic pleas of the AG to the po­lice hi­er­ar­chy have fall­en on deaf ears." In the cir­cum­stances, the AG in­tends to raise the fu­ture of the ACIB with Gibbs in the con­text of the on­go­ing re­form of the po­lice ser­vice.
