Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo said yesterday that President David Granger’s recent pronouncement that the way forward on top judicial appointments is in his (Jagdeo’s) court, caught him off guard and at the moment he cannot find words to express his shock.
“I have no words to respond to a person who cannot seem to remember his last public statement on the matter. I made my position clear and he said he was waiting for advice. I can’t respond to a man who can’t remember his last statement”, Jagdeo said in a brief telephone interview with Stabroek News.
He said that he will comment further on the issue today when he returns from Suriname where he has gone to meet the relatives of the victims of the recent piracy attack.
