Three attorneys were yesterday conferred with silk by President Irfaan Ali who declared their appointment to the dignity of senior counsel to be meritorious and deserving.
Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, Timothy Munro Jonas and Jamela Ali were granted the honour at the Baridi Benab in State House mere minutes after the High Court ruled that the President could legally make such appointments.
“Today I am pleased, as President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, to confer the title of Senior Counsel on three eminent members of the legal profession. Their records of excellence and sterling service exemplifies the high standards to which the legal profession aspires. The conferment of Senior Counsel on these three legal luminaries is meritorious and deserving,” Ali told those gathered for the brief ceremony.
