Pegged at a cost of nearly $38m, the spanking new building which will now house the Kwakwani Magistrate’s Court and its living quarters, was commissioned and handed over to the Upper Demerara community yesterday.
It is the first time that the community is being outfitted with a dedicated court building.
Acting Chief Justice Roxane George SC, who chaired the proceedings, said that while simple, the ceremony was an extremely significant one, since it represents the advancements being made to ensure equal access to justice for all.
