While stating that he is in no way advocating for either the President or Opposition Leader regarding repeated failed attempts over the years by holders of both offices to agree on the substantive appointments of a Chancellor and Chief Justice, Attorney General Anil Nandlall SC says the formula requiring agreement by both has simply not worked.
Describing the formulation as ineffectual, which he noted has only resulted in deadlock for the past 22 years, the AG who is also Minister of Legal Affairs, proposed reform to that requirement of the Constitution.
Nandlall was at the time responding to calls from President of the Guyana Bar Association (GBA), attorney Pauline Chase, who earlier this week, added her voice to the chorus being sung for more than 20 years now, for confirmed appointments of the two top judicial posts.
