The continued delay in appointing a substantive Chancellor and Chief Justice is evidence of the need for a new selection process that would remove politics and politicians from the process, according to Guyana Bar Association (GBA) President Teni Housty.
Currently Article 127 (1) of the Constitution stipulates that the Chancellor and the Chief Justice shall each be appointed by the President, acting after obtaining the agreement of the Leader of the Opposition.
Housty thinks this methodology might just offend the Separation of Powers doctrine.
