Nandlall `vehemently’ rejects autocracy suggestion

Attorney General Anil Nandlall SC has rejected the position of former Chancellor of the University of Guyana, Dr Bertrand Ramcharan that shades of autocracy are evident here.

Speaking on his “issues in the News” programme on Facebook, Nandlall asserted  that global academics. scholars and legal luminaries and the courts have examined this country’s constitution and government’s actions and to date there has never been such an accusation.

The attorney said that while Ramcharan is a distinguished international lawyer and Is highly qualified, his interpretation of how this government operates is flawed and if his analysis was fair he would see that  the constitutional architecture and legal framework show democracy at all levels and that  this country’s  executive, legislature and judiciary operate and function independently.
