The Bar Council of the Guyana Bar Association (GBA) has condemned attacks on attorneys appearing in legal proceedings related to the March 2nd, 2020 polls.
In a statement issued yesterday, the Bar Council mentioned specific attacks levelled at a former Solicitor General, Kim Kyte-Thomas, against whom it says the vilest personal attacks appears to have been reserved over the past two days. Kyte-Thomas is legal counsel for the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) Chairperson, retired judge Claudette Singh.
The Bar Council noted that as recent as last week it was “compelled to speak in light of escalated statements aimed at the judiciary, inter alia, in an appalling effort to alter the course of justice.”
