Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly and Leader of the Liberty and Justice Party (LJP), Lenox Shuman, is calling on President Irfaan Ali to commence the engagement process with the Leader of the Opposition for the critical and long over-due substantive appointments of Chancellor and Chief Justice.
Lack of substantive appointments to those posts and that of Commissioner of Police and Chief of Staff of the Guyana Defence Force, Shuman said, results in the “weakened state of the Judicial Arm of Government.”
In a letter to President Ali dated October 22nd, 2021 and released to the public, Shuman expressed concern over the continued acting appointments which he said he hopes to persuade the President to swiftly rectify.
