==Career==
Sooknandan came to Belize immediately after his law school graduation to work in the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, and remained in the country thereafter.〔 He first became DPP in 1992, serving until 1994. He was appointed DPP again on 9 January 2007. One high-profile case which Sooknandan had to take on early in his was the prosecution of politically connected suspect Chayben Abou-Nehra for the murder of Shawn Copius in 2005, which was marred by police refusal to arrest him along with the disappearance of key evidence from his file before Sooknandan took office, and ended with a declaration of ''nolle prosequi''; Sooknandan himself described the police's conduct as creating "the most shameful miscarriage of justice" he had ever seen. When questioned about his office's low conviction rate the following year, he laid the blame at the feet of the police's low investigative standards.
In total, Sooknandan lasted less than a year and a half in the position, and resigned amidst controversy. Attorney-General Wilfred Elrington stated that Sooknandan had communicated to him by way of Dickie Bradley (ex-PM Said Musa's Leader for Government Business) that he wanted to meet, stated that he wanted to resign, negotiated a severance package of BZ$175,000. Elrington suggested this was because Sooknandan was not able to handle the workload. Sooknandan, in contrast, stated that Elrington, had requested him to quit by the end of April, seven months before his contract would have ended in December. Sooknandan's deputy DPP Cheryl-Lynn Branker-Taitt was promoted into his place as acting DPP. Following his resignation, he returned to private practice. He was the second DPP in a row to depart suddenly from office, after Kirk Anderson, who though having tenure resigned and returned to his native Jamaica with a settlement package of BZ$100,000.
