Guyanese Chief Justice officially installed

The region is not only monitoring the health of Price but also the rise of a CARICOM brother in Belize’s judiciary.  In July Guyanese national Kenneth A. Benjamin was selected to be Chief Justice of Belize and the news spread quickly when he arrived in the country on September eighth. Well, today it was finally made official; Justice Benjamin was sworn in before Governor-General, Sir Colville Young at Belize House in Belmopan. The new CJ brings with him seventeen years of experience which includes posts such as Chief Magistrate in Antigua and Barbuda, a High Court Judge at the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court and a judge of the Criminal Division of the High Court of Saint Lucia. At his swearing in, the new CJ was accompanied by the Attorney General and judges of the Supreme Court, including Justice Samuel Awich.
