The Ministry of the Presidency yesterday refuted any assertion that President David Granger has rejected the recent ruling of acting Chief Justice Roxane George SC on the constitutional requirements for the appointment of the Guyana Elections Commission (Gecom) chairperson.
“Any commentary to contrary is clearly a deliberate misinterpretation,” the ministry said in a press statement that was issued last evening, although it did not identify the source of any such assertions.
However, the statement was issued hours after the Bar Council of the Guyana Bar Association noted the president’s recent comments on the judgement and said that it was confident that the state will abide by Chief Justice’s orders, like in every other society which respects and safeguards the rule of law.
