Anil Nandlall SC

The Constitution Reform Commission will be established and a local law school will be set up this year, Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall SC yesterday said as he unveiled the government’s “very aggressive” legislative agenda for 2023.

During his contribution to the 2023 budget debate, Nandlall described this year as a “watershed” one for many projects within the judicial and legal sectors.

“Mr Speaker, I use this time in my budget (presentation) to outline the level of work that we have to do in Guyana in establishing that important legal framework that will cradle the developmental agenda of our country….Mr Speaker, I again appeal to the other side…..We have to build a united country and we have to diversify development across all sectors of this country,” Nandlall told the National Assembly yesterday.
