Dear Editor,
I read in the newspapers of the exposure by Prakash Persaud of the seemingly despicable actions by some lawyers in Guyana, and I therefore wish to comment on the issue.
The famous jurist, Charles Hughes (1862-1948) emphasised that, “the judiciary is the safeguard of our liberty and of property under the constitution”; and therefore, the act by that “honourable counsel” whom would have taken the oath to uphold the dignity of her profession as an attorney-at-law, to instead, illegally manipulate the dispossession of someone else’s property, was most disgraceful.
And, it also seems very scandalous for those “learned members” of the Legal Practitioner’s Committee to have given fraternal coverage to that attorney-at-law for her contempt, whilst the complainant – Persaud, was unfairly denied his right to seek redress on that fraud! Regretfully, such intrigues can only lead to seditious undermining of faith in our courts of justice. The current categorization for such perpetrators of injustice may now be appropriately used to ask the following question. Why are ‘rogue’ lawyers allowed to practice in the justice system, whilst on the other hand, rogue cops are immediately removed after they are so recognised?
Mr. Editor, for Guyana’s sake, please offer some help to uncover the reason for the disparity. Perhaps, the Chief Justice and/or the Commissioner of Police can lend some assistance for the answer.
Oswald Wray
Editor’s note: We are sending copies of the above letter to the Hon. Chief Justice (acting) and the Commissioner of Police for any comments they wish to make.
Every country demanding more and more taxes, not Guyana.
