Press Statement by Mohabir Anil Nandlall,MP

It is anyones guess why the Guyana Chronicle is the only media outfit that has
been given a copy of Justice Holders letter of complaint against the Attorney
Generals conduct in open court on the 24th day of March, 2017, during the
Carvil Duncans case. It is also anyones guess why the Guyana Chronicle is
not releasing the letter to the public. So much for freedom of the press and
information under this new dispensation.

Nevertheless, the Guyana Chronicle has published snippets of the letter over
the last two days. Despite its best spin, each publication has sunk the Attorney
General deeper into a conundrum from which he may not be able to extricate
himself, in the end.

From the excerpts of the letter published, thus far, in the Guyana Chronicle the
following seminal points can be distilled:

(i) the learned Judge felt disrespected;

(ii) the learned Judge said that the AG is in contempt of his court;

(iii) the learned Judge described the AGs statements in the Court as most
egregious;

(iv) the learned Judge has called for a genuine and meaningful apology from
Williams in open court;

(v) that in the absence of such an apology the learned Judge said that he
will not hear Williams in his court as an Attorney-at-law, in any case,
whatsoever.;

(vi) the learned Judges account of what transpired in the court at the
relevant time bore a striking similarity to what I disclosed transpired and
is materially different from what Williams recited at his Press Conference
on the 24th March, 2017;

(vii) In other words, Williams has not only publicly lied about my conduct but
he effectively is calling the learned Judge a liar as the Judges version
 did not corroborate the concocted tale which he told at his Press
Conference;

(viii) the AG has now gotten two junior counsel at the Attorney Generals
chambers, who were present in court, to give statements which are
palpably false, in his defence, thereby putting their careers on the line by
pitting them against the Judge, to make out the Judge to be a liar;

(ix) the learned Judge quoted Mr. Williams as saying all morning Mr.
Nandlall disrespecting you and you have done nothing about it to which
the learned Judge told Williams that is not a true statement of what
occurred.

Despite all of the foregoing already in the public domain, the Attorney General,
today, issued another statement aggravating the wrongs he has already
committed by not only refusing to accept responsibility for his outrageous
conduct and apologizing to the Judge and the Nation for his blatant
prevarications, he thanks Justice Holder for doing the right thing and exposing
the iniquity of Nandlall.! As far as I am aware, Justice Holder has not said a
single word critical of me. He then continues to insult the Judges intellect by
saying that the Judge fell prey to transferred frustration

I am so happy that the nation has witnessed this incident. It has provided to
the public, a preponderance of irrefutable evidence that this gentleman is
mentally unfit to hold public office. Significantly, he has furnished this
evidence all by himself, unsolicited. It is now for the President to act.
