Bar Council mourns death of Cecil Dhurjon
Dear Editor,
The Bar Council joins the wider legal fraternity in mourning the passing of Mr. Cecil Dhurjon, AA, CCH, SC, a towering figure whose contributions to the legal framework of Guyana have left an enduring legacy. Mr. Dhurjon passed away on Tuesday, 5th August 2025.
His unwavering dedication to public service was perhaps most clearly reflected in his stewardship of numerous pieces of legislation during his distinguished tenure as Guyana’s Chief Parliamentary Counsel. Serving in the Drafting Department of the Attorney General’s Chambers for many decades, Mr. Dhurjon holds the distinction of being the nation’s longest-serving Chief Parliamentary Counsel.
In recognition of his extraordinary service, he was elevated to the rank of Senior Counsel and honoured with two of the country’s highest national awards — the Golden Arrow of Achievement and the Cacique’s Crown of Honour.
The Bar Council extends its deepest condolences to Mr. Dhurjon’s family, friends, and colleagues, including his wife, Anande, and son, Siand, both members of the legal profession.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.
Best Regards,
Yashmini Singh (Ms.)
Secretary,
The Bar Association of Guyana
