President Irfaan Ali yesterday maintained that Opposition Leader Joseph Harmon must first recognise the PPP/C government as legitimate before they consult on the appointments of a substantive Chief Justice and Chancellor of the Judiciary.
“I know definitively who is the Leader of the Opposition and I know definitively who the President of Guyana is. I am sure Harmon definitively knows who also is the Leader of the Opposition is and who is the President,” Ali said yesterday when asked about the consultation, which is needed
“So the ball is in his court to do the right thing. And I’m hoping – I’m a very positive person – I’m hoping that very soon he will stop his reckless statements about the government and do what is right in the interest of the people of Guyana,” he added.
