The PNC has always been afraid of an independent judiciary

DEAR EDITOR,
Allow me to make some comments on Mr. Mark Archer’s latest letter, published in the Kaieteur News on December 19, 2012 under the caption “AG’s continuous run to the courts is habitual”.
Mr. Archer is a well know APNU member and activist, and it is no secret that APNU has been consistently violating the constitution, both inside and outside parliament. It is not only the AG’s constitutional and democratic right, but also his constitutional duty and responsibility to move to the High Court whenever he believes the constitution has been violated. Under the constitution of Guyana, it is the High Court that has exclusive jurisdictional responsibility in dealing with constitutional matters.
Mr. Archer’s letter, therefore, represents a clear attack on the independence of the judiciary and the integrity of the Hon. Chief Justice, Mr. Ian Chang who is tasked with the responsibility of hearing and determining the case brought by the AG on behalf of the Minister of Home Affairs, Mr. Clement Rohee. Letters of this nature are nothing but deliberate attempts by the opposition, directed at undermining the independence of the Judiciary and must be condemned for what they are. It is no secret that the PNC has always been afraid of an independent Judiciary.
I encourage the Attorney General to continue accessing the Court to preserve the rule of law and to challenge Constitutional Violations, irrespective of who commits them.
