After thirty (30) years of public service and having attained the highest office in the Public Service of Grenada, Gemma Bain-Thomas was purportedly transferred by the Head of State, the Governor-General from a constitutionally protected position to one created specifically for her. All this for the purpose of political expediency. But instead of accepting her fate, she fought back. For the first time, Bain-Thomas tells her story.  She catalogues her childhood life in a little-known village in Grenada, a small island in the Caribbean, all the way up to attaining the Office of Secretary to the Cabinet. She provides the details of her removal from Office, in a manner deemed unconstitutional by the High Court of Grenada and the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Court of Appeal. In Unconstitutionally Removed, Bain-Thomas carefully unpacks her experiences in the court system, supported by the original arguments presented by her Attorney, the State Attorneys, and opinions and judgments which were delivered during that five-year period. Unconstitutionally Removed shines a spotlight on what can happen when public administrators do not adhere to the constitution preferring to abuse power in a most unjust and inhumane manner. Bain-Thomas successfully argues that we must hold public officials and public institutions accountable for actions inconsistent with the constitution and shows that justice can be achieved with enough perseverance; even when the odds are stacked against you.
