meet granger for what reason.

Twenty years after a constitutional amendment was made to allow the two top judicial office holders to be appointed substantively by the President after obtaining the agreement of the Opposition Leader, Guyana remains without a substantive Chancellor and Chief Justice (CJ).
This is largely due to the lack of consensus on the issue between the two main political leaders. This issue has been a source for concern for both local and regional judicial bodies.
In an invited comment, Attorney General, (AG) Anil Nandlall noted that given the impasse over the appointments, it may be time that constitutional amendment is revisited. Nandlall shared the view that this aspect of the Constitution which provides for the involvement of key politicians has not worked in the best interest of the judiciary.

GOOD MORNING! ALL MINISTERS WILL BE APPOINTED BY THE END OF THIS WEEK. DEALING WITH COVID-19 IS THE PRIORITY WEAR YOUR MASK & SOCIAL DISTANCING. GREAT DAY!
