Dear Editor,
Reference is to the Chief Justice (Ag) Roxane George’s ruling.
l done and well adjudicated. President Granger was many a time over, advised that his opinion was wrong, that his opinion had no basis in law, yet he continued to insist that his opinion was the correct one. As Guyanese we have our own local descriptions of such an attitude but out of respect I would not mention that here.
So the question is why did the president continue to maintain that his interpreted opinion was correct? Were the legal minds in and around cabinet, fearful of giving contrary advice? Lots of fodder for the opposition to attack in a more pointed manner. From the start of this issue I had written an opinion that the President was wrong and many others equally did so. As well, many agreed with the President, but not, in my opinion, convincingly with their emphasis on word placements and compound sentences.
Now it is never good for the Court to rule against a President especially in a country like Guyana with its own list of oddities, so I am disturbed at the hard line the President took. But then again he might have been complying with the many bits of advice given to him. In any case it was and is an unpleasant situation.
