Former acting Chancellor of the Judiciary Carl Singh yesterday rejected claims by the Attorney General’s Chambers linking him to a purported about-face by the Council of Legal Education (CLE) on the establishment of a local law school.
Additionally, Chairman of the CLE Reginald Armour SC yesterday said that he has written Attorney General (AG) Basil Williams SC for a copy of the media release his office disseminated last Saturday and in which it was claimed that the regional body was now saying that no permission was ever given to Guyana to move ahead with the project. Armour noted that a Sunday Chronicle report based on the release contains noteworthy inaccuracies, which he will respond to once Williams provides the release.
The release had stated that Armour was relying on a report of a Review Committee, which included Justice Singh, “to now say that the CLE never gave permission to Guyana to establish its own Law School….”
