The We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) Political Party has issued a strong condemnation of the recent attacks on the judiciary following a ruling by High Court Justice Gino Persaud. Members of the government, including President Irfaan Ali and Attorney General Anil Nandlall, are accused of engaging in a campaign against the judiciary that undermines the fundamental principles of democracy.
WIN emphasizes that the three branches of government—Legislative, Executive, and Judiciary—are designed to function under a system of checks and balances, not as instruments of political revenge or intimidation. The party criticizes the coordinated efforts to discredit judges whenever court rulings do not favor the government, asserting that such actions attack the integrity of the judiciary and the rule of law in Guyana.
The statement urges the government to utilize appropriate legal avenues for redress rather than resorting to unwarranted attacks on judicial officials, which are described as undemocratic and dangerous. WIN insists that Guyana should not be subject to political bullying and calls on the government to respect judicial independence.
In closing, the WIN Party reaffirms its commitment to defending the independence of the courts, stating that this principle is non-negotiable.
