Reply to "Jonas moves to court to quash 4 SC appointments"

@Django, thank you for posting that news report on the robeing and disrobeing of Timothy Jonas in a jiffy. What that tells me is that Granger quashed his own decision to approve Jonas' State Counsel appointment not for a professional misconduct reason but for a political reason.

In short, Granger showed a paranoid fear of even an emerging political party that challenges PNC dominance. So much for the authoritarian nature of Granger.

It also showed that Jonas is correct that ".... the appointment of Senior Counsel by the judiciary and the Bar at large lies within the inherent discretion of the High Court of the Supreme Court of Judicature. The attorney explained that there is no statutory or other power conferred on the President of Guyana whether as President or otherwise, to make any such decision to appoint attorneys-at-law to the dignity of Senior Counsel."
