Although judicial backlogging is not unique to Guyana’s newly sworn in Acting Chief Justice, Yonette Cummings-Edwards plans to invite all hands on deck to tackle the issue. She gave the assurance Wednesday she was sworn in by President David Granger at the Ministry of the Presidency. Justice Cummings-Edwards told media operatives that her plan is to focus on the state of the local justice system. “I intend to look at the state of affairs right now and I intend to deal with backlog cases. I intend to deal with matters affecting the smooth functioning of the judiciary and I intend to have all hands onboard for us to work together towards having a system that will ensure that justice is done.”(Kaieteurnews.com/photo:Kaieteurnews.com)…[+]
