The decision by the Commission can hardly be regarded as fair and just

Feb 10, 2023 Letters

Dear Editor,

I find it quite extraordinary that the Commission of Inquiry into the March 2020 General and Regional Elections has agreed to allow the Attorney-at-Law, Nigel Hughes, representing former Deputy Chief Elections Officer, Roxanne Myers, to cross examine witnesses who have volunteered to come before the Inquiry who have named Myers for the part she played, when Myers herself has declined to give evidence before the Commission.

Quite frankly, if I were one of those witnesses, I would point blank refuse to be examined by Hughes.

I am not a Lawyer, but, surely, the decision made by the Commission can hardly be regarded as fair and just.

Yours sincerely,

Kit Nascimento
