Mandate of Carvil Duncan tribunal unaffected by dismissal of larceny charge

The dismissal of a simple larceny charge against former Director of the Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL) Carvil Duncan will have no effect on the work of the tribunal set up to investigate whether he ought to be removed from the post of Chairman of the Public Service Commission (PSC), Minister of State Joseph Harmon said on Thursday.

Harmon told a post-Cabinet press briefing that once the High Court challenge to the legality of the tribunal has been “dealt with,” the tribunal, which has completed its work, will submit its report to President David Granger.

Attorney Anil Nandlall, who represents Duncan, had argued in a letter carried by Stabroek News that the dismissal of the charge against Duncan meant that the tribunal should be disbanded.
