Chief Justice (CJ) Roxane George SC on Thursday threw out a challenge by the GPSU to the nomination of Mohandatt Goolsarran to the Public Service Commission (PSC).
According to a statement from the Attorney General’s Chambers, the CJ declared the application of the Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU) without a “scintilla of evidence, was unmeritorious, frivolous and vexatious”. She also awarded costs of $1.5m against the GPSU.
On June 28, 2023, the GPSU filed legal proceedings challenging the decision of the Standing Committee on Appointments of the National Assembly and the National Assembly to consider nominations from the Public Service Senior Staff Association (PSSSA) to nominate Goosarran to the Public Service Commission (PSC).
