Justice Sandil Kissoon yesterday ordered that the Ministry of Education (MoE) produce evidence that financial matters were discussed with the Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU) between 2019 and February 5, 2024, when teachers  began their strike action.

The GTU was also made to withdraw their recent application, the contents of which the Judge said were out of the court’s jurisdiction to make orders.

Attorney General (AG) Anil Nandlall SC pledged to provide the necessary documents to GTU’s lawyer, Darren Wade, and Attorney for the Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC), Roysdale Forde SC, by midnight last night.
