A five-member panel, headed by retired Justice of Appeal Mustapha Ibrahim, will seek to trace the mastermind of the July 1990 attempted coup and ascertain if any public or state officials were involved. In a statement to Parliament on the commission of enquiry yesterday, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar referred to the 1990 event as a “conspiracy to overthow the government of the time.” She warned of possible legal action against those culpable, arising from the upcoming enquiry.

Persad-Bissessar added: “Let me unequivocally state that whatever is found no one would be above the law... if there is evidence of wrong-doing wherever it may be, that will be addressed by our courts.” She added: “I think it is time the Government has decided that once the enquiry reveals any evidence of wrong-doing, consideration will be given to prosecuting those culpable. “Of course it will depend on what evidence is found by the commission. Murder, for example, is not a statute-barred offence.”

Commission chairman Ibrahim served in the Supreme Court of T&T and the Bahamas.

Other members of the commission are:
• Former Independent senator and social activist Diana Mahabir-Wyatt:
• Dr H A Mohammed, an international security consultant and US war veteran;
• Dr Richard Cheltenhan, QC, a leading criminal lawyer of Barbados who had headed the probe concerning former Grenada Prime Minister Keith Mitchell; and,
• Former Independent senator Dr Eastlyn McKenzie.
