Nigel Hawke did not resign as Solicitor General

Nigel Hawke

Stabroek Newspaper of Guyana has retracted a report on the purported resignation of Nigel Hawke as Solicitor General. The newspaper has corrected the story following confirmation by Hawke that he did not resign his post in Guyana. Hawke, who also served as Solicitor General in Belize, wrote to the newspaper saying that he was of the view that the article was intended to create mischief. He also said that that if the newspaper made an attempt to contact him or the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Legal Affairs it would have found out that he had not resigned and that the “belongings” seen with him were his usual bag of books. Today, the newspaper apologized to Hawke.
