Following the Bar Council of the Guyana Bar Association (GBA) declaring that APNU+AFC government is operating outside the rule of law, the Office of the Attorney General (AG) yesterday rejected the assertion and suggested that the body has become “minion” to a political party.
“The Government of Guyana rejects this contention as being false and malicious, as it cannot be supported by the Bar Council’s recourse to the Constitution and/or the decision of the Caribbean Court of Justice [CCJ],” the AG’s office said in a statement yesterday.
On Friday, the Bar Council, in a strongly worded statement, condemned the failure of government to hold elections as required by the Constitution in wake of the passage of a no-confidence against it by the National Assembly.
