Attorney General (AG) Basil Williams and his predecessor Anil Nandlall yesterday squared-off in the High Court, when the former signaled his readiness to present submissions to Justice Gino Persaud as to why the court has no jurisdiction to hear the challenge to the restructuring and activation of new local government areas (LGAs).
When the matter was called yesterday afternoon, Williams, who himself made an appearance, seemed ready to address the court on the state’s application, which argues that it does not have jurisdiction to hear the application for judicial review that was filed on behalf of Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) Com-missioner and PPP member Bibi Shadick.
