A vexatious litigant
DEAR EDITOR,
For Anil Nandlall to announce another High Court challenge to the existence of the A Partnership for National Unity+Alliance for Change (APNU+AFC) government, as a result of the NCM, is beginning to assume the situation of an abuse of process.
Editor, this matter has been twisted and distorted so many times by the PPP/C and their legal representatives that it has become shapeless, and void of any discernible ground for further debate. In fact, Nandlall has again resorted to the effect of 106(6), but without reference to 106(7) even though he is aware that the government is in ‘interim’ mode, which it has acknowledged, and acting in accordance.
For Nandlall to be referring to 106(6), in his announced intention to approach the High Court, amounts to cherry picking, as the learned Chief Justice some time ago reminded another “constitutional expert” in a failed attempt to have her overturn a CCJ decision that it would not be making political decisions for Guyana, since such is clearly out of its remit.
It is very difficult to understand this latest action by Nandlall, of course on behalf of the PPP/C, as it would mean asking the Court to rule on a matter which had already been done by the CCJ. It is therefore Res Judicata, with Nandlall becoming a vexatious litigant.
This latest legal tactic is another in the line of devious political strategies, seeking to pressurize the GECOM in hurrying its preparations for national and regional elections, with the main target being the post-House-to-House procedure of merging the latter results with the NRR, for the extraction of a new register, which it hopes to have aborted. One also, should not doubt the party’s worried eye on the possible trial of its presidential candidate, Irfaan Ali, and his conviction, which would effect a crushing blow especially on his political handler’s grand dream.
Regards,
Earl Hamilton
