Attorney General (AG) Anil Nandlall yesterday announced that there will be a special audit of the spending on legal services by the former APNU+AFC government, including funding the challenge by a private citizen to the no-confidence motion that was passed against it in December 2018.
At a press conference yesterday, Nandlall announced that invoices revealed that in at least one instance, the attorneys who appeared on behalf of a private citizen were also paid by the state.
“[Senior Counsel] Rex McKay and Neil Boston, if you recall, appeared on behalf of Compton Reid in the no-confidence case… they appeared for a private citizen and the AG’s office paid them,” he stressed in reference to his predecessor Basil Williams.
