REFERENCE is made to an article appearing in our November 8, 2016 edition under the caption: “I wrongfully sued the AG’— Zana Frank.Guyana Chronicle wishes to retract this statement attributed to Ms Frank as she never made such a comment. In fact in her affidavit she said among other things it was never her intention to maliciously involve Attorney General and Legal Affairs Minister, Basil Williams in the ongoing matter surrounding her appointment and payment.

“I will contend that I never sought to maliciously involve the Minister, but it is rather the response received from the Human Resource Manager and Secretary of the Deeds and Commercial Registry Authority Board, Shyam Doodnauth, that did implicate the Minister.”

According to Frank, she had enquired about her salary, and in response, the Human Resource Manager advised that she should have consulted with the Legal Affairs Minister on the matter. “Thus it is correct to say that the Minister does not pay salaries. I never purported to state such, but it is rather Mr. Doodnauth who directed that I should have consulted the Minister, as mentioned in his Letter dated 3rd August, 2016,” she stated.
