Attorney General Anil Nandlall yesterday expressed dissatisfaction with the manner in which an IDB-funded project to reduce the prison population in Guyana is proceeding and urged that unused sentencing guidelines be upgraded.

According to a release from the Ministry of Legal Affairs,  Nandlall, visited the Hadfield Street office where the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB)-funded project under the title “Support for the Criminal Justice System Programme” is located.

This is a US$8M project under the management of the Ministry of Legal Affairs. The Attorney General said that he is pleased that such a project is ongoing in Guyana and expressed support for it.
