I am available for the serving of any court documents – MP Annette Ferguson

Sep 11, 2021 Letters

Dear Editor,

On June 22, 2021, I read an online article carried by Newsroom, “$20M Lawsuit: AG sues Ferguson for slander over claims he distributed ID cards on E’Day.”
At the time of preparing this missive for publication in your letter column, September 9, 2021, I have not received nor have been served any court documents from a Marshal or any other Officer from the Supreme Court of the Judicature. I appeared on several media platforms; HGP Channel 67, News Talk Radio Guyana (NTRG), 103.1 FM and Capitol News, where the hosts or reporters, while interviewing me on issues of national importance, requested updates on this matter. The appropriate responses were provided and publicly aired subsequently, “I have not been served any documents by the courts…”
Editor, exactly two weeks ago on August 25, 2021, I appeared on a programme, “BEYOND THE SURFACE,” hosted by Mr. Wendell Badrie of HGP Channel 67. I was asked to provide information and updates on this matter. Again, my responses remained similar, since nothing had changed.
Further Editor, I am a public official, currently serving as a Member of Parliament and my address is well known. May I remind you that Mr. Nandlall was integrally involved in matters (Annette Ferguson vs Bharrat Jagdeo), currently engaging the High Courts. Therefore, he is well aware of my address, since documents in his possession have my address. Consequently, at all material times, I have made myself available to be served and ready to provide responses to the claims brought against me. Additionally, there were several sittings of the National Assembly; after the publication of the article on June 22, 2021, where I attended on all occasions.
August 9, 2021, was the last sitting for the First Session of the National Assembly, prior to the Assembly going into recess on August 10, 2021. The session started just before 11:30hrs. on August 9, 2021, and ended just before 05:00hrs. on the morning of August 10, 2021. I attended in person and participated in several debates during the period, in which Mr. Nandlall was present and actively participated in several debates, too. The question one should and must be concerned about, “why has Mr. Nandlall failed to make the necessary arrangements for me to be served on the days of the National Assembly, where he is fully cognisant that my presence will be there?”
May I draw attention to Officers of the Courts, including Chief Justice, Hon. Roxanne George-Wiltshire, CCH, and other Judges of the High Court that I have not been served any documents from the Court, and trust that there is no surreptitious motive to indicate that I cannot be located, or I have avoided services.

Yours in service,
Ms. Annette Ferguson
Member of Parliament – APNU+AFC
