PRESIDENT Dr. Irfaan Ali on Tuesday presided over the swearing-in ceremony of the remaining members of the Constitution Reform Commission and the Law Reform Commission.
The event, held at the Office of the President on Shiv Chanderpaul Drive, marked the completion of the commissions’ membership.

The newly sworn-in members of the Constitution Reform Commission are Timothy Jonas, representing the tripartite group comprising A New and United Guyana, the Liberty and Justice Party, and The New Movement; Kamal Ramkarran, representing the Guyana Bar Association; and Keoma Griffith, representing Christian organisations.

These three join the 18 members who took their oaths of office on April 3, 2024, completing the 21-member commission.
In addition, the Law Reform Commission welcomed Marie Correia and Everton Singh-Lammy as its newest members. The Commission is chaired by Attorney-at-Law Emily Dodson.

The Constitution Reform Commission is tasked with reviewing and recommending changes to Guyana’s Constitution to ensure it meets contemporary needs, and reflects the will of the people.
Meanwhile, the Law Reform Commission focuses on updating and improving the nation’s legal framework.

The establishment of these commissions underscores the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) government’s commitment to democratic governance and the rule of law, as these bodies shape the nation’s legal and constitutional landscape.
