Magistrate issues warrant for MP Norton

Magistrate Fazil Azeez yesterday issued an arrest warrant for PNCR-1G parliamentarian, Dr. George Norton, who failed to attend the Leonora Magistrate’s Court to answer to a charge of exceeding the speed limit.

This was the second time that the matter was called and Dr. Norton was not present. It is alleged that the parliamentarian on March 24 on the Parika Public Road drove motor car PKK 891 at a speed greater than that specified.
When the matter was called at the Leonora Magistrate’s Court on the previous occasion, the court was told that Dr. Norton was performing surgery.
