GUYANA’S new Registrar of Lands Rosaline Robertson, was sworn in on Friday by Chief Justice (acting) Ian Chang, almost two months after her predecessor Juliet Sattaur was sent on leave to facilitate an investigation into the operations of the Registry. 

Also taking the Oath of Office was the new Assistant Registrar of Land Wendella Austin.

Minister of Legal Affairs and Attorney General Basil Williams and Minister of State Joseph Harmon, attended the swearing-in ceremony at the Chambers of the CJ at the High Court.
