Gov’t apologises for delay in setting up constitutional reform body

Anil Nandlall

Apologizing for the delays in the setting up of the constitutional reform body more than one year after the Bill was passed in the National Assembly, President Irfaan Ali has assured that the processes onward will be swift and will commence next week.

“The President assures that the Constitutional Reform Commis-sion will be appointed in the shortest possible time. We apologize for the delay,” Attorney General Anil Nandall told Stabroek News yesterday when contacted on the matter.

He attributed the delays to government’s focus on dealing with Venezuela’s aggression, which came at a time concurrent with his government’s timeline for the requisite processes to be triggered.
