President David Granger yesterday justified the decision to have Attorney-General Basil Williams SC meet with a representative of Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo on the nominees for the chair of the Guyana Elections Commission (Gecom), while emphasising his desire to choose a candidate who is fit to be a judge.
“I did not feel that a non-lawyer like myself should engage a non-lawyer like the Leader of the Opposition because there may be further misunderstanding. So, I feel the quickest route is for two legal minds to interpret the clause, the Article,” the President said during a recording of ‘The Public Interest’ yesterday.
