Bar Council expectation of President’s adherence to ruling on GECOM Chair premature

The Ministry of Legal Affairs yesterday said it believes that the Guyana Bar Association’s (GBA) expectation that President David Granger will conform with the recent ruling by Chief Justice (ag) Roxane George-Wiltshire on the GECOM Chairman is premature as the applicant has signalled his intention to appeal.

In a statement yesterday, the Ministry was replying to one issued on Saturday by the Bar Council of the GBA  which said it expects that the state will abide by the Chief Justice’s (ag) orders for the appointment of the Chairperson of the Guyana Elections Com-mission (GECOM).
