Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Mohabir Anil Nandlall today, presented Certificates to a group of State Counsel at the Ministry, representing the final batch of persons trained in the Consolidation of Laws as the Government of Guyana continues in its quest to build capacity to effect and execute the massive law reform agenda that lies ahead.
This training programme was conducted virtually, earlier this year by the Regional Law Revision Centre Inc., Anguilla, under the auspices of Professor Velma Newton, CBE, SCM, the Regional Project Director of the Improved Access to Justice in the Caribbean (IMPACT JUSTICE) Programme.
Those State Counsel receiving Certificates today were: Asasha Ramzan, Marnice O. Hestick, Janet A. Ali, Meenakshi Arti Outar, Debra Singh, and Cheyenne Lall. Also, present were State Counsel Dianne Woolford and Renee Sandiford, two members of the Law Revision Unit, Ministry of Legal Affairs, who were part of a previous batch that completed a similar training programme.
This is the latest of a series of initiatives of the Attorney General Chambers and the Ministry of Legal Affairs in building institutional capacity in preparation of transformational legal reforms as well as consolidation of the laws of Guyana. The Law Revision Unit will partner with the Law Reform Commission and other important stakeholder organisations to execute Guyana’s statutory agenda.
