Attorney Joe Harmon now representing Ex- GDF officers

Jun 24, 2014 News

Attorney at law Joseph Harmon has now withdrawn his earlier application to represent the interest of the People’s National Congress at the Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry. Harmon told commissioners at the commencement of the third session of the inquiry, yesterday morning, that he would now be representing Ex-GDF members.
Harmon was on record at the Commission, along with Attorneys Basil Williams and James Bond, as representing the interest of the Party
Harmon explained that the Ex Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Association includes former servicemen and women of the Guyana National Service and the Guyana People’s Militia. He said that he was approached, since the commencement of the inquiry, by several members of the Association to represent their interests.
He explained that the ex-servicemen are scattered in all corners of the earth and by wonders of technology they are able to follow and have been following the inquiry.
“Mr. Chairman it is difficult to comprehend the significant impact which this Commission of Inquiry has had on the community of former servicemen of the GDF, Guyana’s People’s Militia and the Guyana National Service,” Harmon told the Commission yesterday.
Harmon added that there are persons who have distinguished themselves in the areas of Politics, Arts, Religion and the Sciences, whose credibility and reputation now stand to be tarnished by the negatives which emanate from the Commission, concerning their command or services in the forces.
The former Lieutenant Colonel’s application to represent the Association was accepted without question.
So far, the only member of the Ex- GDF to testify is former Army Chief Norman McLean. McLean has not completed his testimony and is scheduled to return later this week to complete.
It is very likely that Harmon will be representing him and will call witnesses to testify at the appropriate time.
