Dear Editor,
I again have to remind the public, the authorities and the persons pretending to function in the Guyana National Broadcasting Authority that since a legal challenge essentially addresses the legality of the Broadcast Authority and is sub judice in the Guyana Court of Appeal, unless it is heard, there can be no functioning Broadcast Authority. Pretending that it doesn’t exist is unlawful.
The Rambarran case, CIVIL APPEAL NO. qI of 2014 is brought by Jacob Rambarran and Rambarran Broadcasting systems Limited, a company registered under the Companies Act Chapter 89:01 and continued under the Companies Act 1991. The case challenges, since 2014, the legality of the Guyana National Broadcasting Authority, since it is claimed that the authority was formed in violation of Articles 8, 146, 149 D (1) and 153 of the Constitution of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana.
This case must be heard, it is an important case for this country. I am not doing this to be mischievous, or with any agenda whatsoever, this is an important case and I want it heard. If the Broadcast authority continues to act as if this challenge to its existence does not exist, we will seek legal redress to stop it from functioning unlawfully. In the meantime, it cannot legally sanction any broadcaster.
Yours faithfully,
Tony Vieira
