ATTORNEY GENERAL Reginal Armour, SC, will hold a press conference at his office at 4.30 pm today.
A release from the Office of the Attorney General stated that the press conference will be held at El Tucuche 11 on Level 12 of the Office of the Attorney General and Legal Affairs Tower at the Government Campus Plaza, Corner of London and Richmond Streets in Port of Spain.

The Opposition has called on Armour to resign or be fired after it was revealed that he was a defence attorney for Kuei Tung and his partner Renee Pierre in a criminal matter arising out of the construction of the Piarco International Airport more than a decade ago.
The State of Trinidad and Tobago had filed civil proceedings to recover monies from the alleged fraud during the construction of the airport. This case is based on similar facts to that of the criminal case. When Armour became AG two of the defendants in the Miami case Kuei Tung and Steve Ferguson filed an application to have him disqualified since all civil litigation of the State must be brought in the name of the attorney general and he was once an attorney representing Kuei Tung.
Armour said his involvement in a criminal case in the local courts in which he was a defence attorney for former minister Brian Kuei Tung was much more than what he put in an affidavit to a Miami court and that he was not afforded the opportunity to file another affidavit in the matter to correct the record.
Forty attorneys have also filed a petition to have the matter discussed at a special sitting of the Law Association of Trinidad and Tobago.
Armour has issued two press releases on the matter and remained silent refusing to give interviews to the media until now.
