Dear Editor,
Please permit me space to share my thoughts with your readers on an article written by reporter, Abena Rockcliffe-Campbell captioned, “Their hands are tied only 1 Constitutional way-out – Jagdeo” appearing on page 15, Sunday Kaieteur News, December 30, 2018.
The piece indicates that Jagdeo said that no date has been given for any proposed meeting between him and the Honourable President of Guyana.
There seems to me an issue that is now boiling over “in the pot on the stove”, so to speak and “may set the kitchen on fire” – And that is – whether the court needs to give its interpretation of things, particularly the outcome of the vote taken that day December 21, 2018, by Mr. Isaacs, Clerk of Parliament, prior to any such proposed meeting that the writer of the Article referred to.
The Honourable AG Basil Williams seems inclined to ask the Honourable CJ Roxane George, to interpret for us, the Guyanese populace, what the meaning of the results of that No-confidence Vote (33-32) actually mean.
I understand there are persuasive precedents like AG v Granger & Trotman CM#94/2012 HC and Hughes v Rogers Civil Suit Nos. 99 and 101 of 1999, which may urge any Honourable Court to interpret such meaning, which a Court is empowered to so do, and to intervene to ensure the Assembly has not acted inconsistent with any provisions of our Constitution, in the separation of powers doctrine.
Whether the outcome of any such intended court case bears any meaning in the near future to the before-mentioned proposed meeting date is left for all to see, and in that vein, what impact such an Intended Court case would have on any such proposed Meeting, whether to be convened this year, or in 2020.
