Prime Minister Bruce Golding has sought to explain the reason for the delay in the appointment of a new attorney general, begging for the understanding of his critics.
According to Mr Golding, the new attorney general has accepted the offer and will be named later this week.
But he says the new chief Government legal adviser has asked for some time to prepare to take up the appointment.
The Gleaner/Power 106 understands that attorney at law Ransford Braham is tipped to become the next attorney general.
According to Golding the criticisms about the vacancy of the post of the attorney general is unfair.
The new attorney general will replace Dorothy Lightbourne who was sacked as justice minister and attorney general in a cabinet reshuffle last week.
Golding was speaking this morning at the swearing-in for the new justice minister Delroy Chuck and Senator Arthur Williams, the new minister without portfolio in charge of the public service.
Meanwhile, the Patriots, the young professional group of the Peoples National Party has maintained that the vacancy in the post of the attorney General is a constitutional crisis.
The chairman of the Patriots, Raymond Pryce said the Government's failure to find an appropriate person to fill the post is a breach of the Constitution
Pryce says the non-appointment of an Attorney General is also an indication that the Prime Minister Bruce Golding has lost political control of his government.
He has also suggested that the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) call an election.
