Bar association says it will continue to speak out

The Guyana Bar Association (GBA) said it will continue to speak out when criticism moves beyond the boundaries of ‘fair’ and appears to be an attempt to impact on the perception of judicial independence.

In a ‘Comment to the Press’ signed by newly-elected President Teni Housty, the GBA cited a press release from the Office of the President (OP) issued on May 31, which referred to, among other things, the issue of judicial criticism.
