(Kaieteur News) – Six new Puisne Judges were officially sworn in by President Irfaan Ali on Wednesday. The ceremony took place at the president’s Shiv Chanderpaul Drive office, following their recent appointment by the Judicial Service Commission (JSC).

The newly appointed judges bring a wealth of diverse legal experience to the high court bench. The cohort consists of Sueanna Lovell, former Registrar of the Supreme Court, Mandisa Breedy, Attorney, Christel Lambert-Meertins, former Commissioner of Title, Renita Camille Singh, former Commissioner of Title, Sunil Scarce, former Senior Magistrate and Azeena Baksh, former Registrar of Deeds.

In his address, President Ali noted that this is not the first time a substantial cohort has been appointed simultaneously to the bench, recalling a similar appointment of ten Puisne Judges in June 2024. He emphasised that the expansion is a direct response to the changing landscape of Guyanese society.
