Shouldn’t the DPP stop functioning until the completion of this court matter?
Dear Editor,
I refer to an article (Kaieteur News, 26-04-11) titled, “Former NBS boss takes DPP to court for malicious prosecution”.
Given the nature of this serious allegation against the DPP who is also a person who holds constitutional office, shouldn’t she be prevented from functioning in that office until the completion of the court matter?
This is a high profile case in that the NBS boss was the head of the 3rd largest financial institution in Guyana. I understand he has 30 years exemplary service and I note from other Kaieteur News reports that in the 31/2 years that he was in court no evidence was provided and when dismissing the matter even the magistrate told him to go to the high court because even the police could not justify why he was charged.
The big question therefore is – why was this man charged? And has the NBS paid him damages for wrecking his career?
I know that in the USA when similar allegations are made against their District Attorneys (who holds similar office as the DPP) they are debarred from practicing while before the courts in accordance with their laws. Does Guyana have no similar laws for such matters?
It will be interesting to note how other Guyanese feel about this entire case and I hope others will also send their comments to you, as if no one does anything, then the other question will be – who’s next?
