Governing Board for registries to be set up after legislation amended – Williams

The need to widen the composition of the Governing Board for the Deeds and Commercial Registries Authority has stalled its establishment, according to Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs Basil Williams SC.

Williams told the media last Friday that this widening will be made possible with the amendment of the existing legislation, which will also correct some flaws.

The life of the Board expired last May and since then no attempt has been made to appoint new members.

Asked why this has happened, Williams said it was recognized that the Board needed to be widened to include entities such as the Ministry of Business, the Guyana Revenue Authority and the Valuation Department.
