STATEMENT ON GOVERNOR GENERAL\u2019S POWERS<\/span><\/span> TO <\/span><\/span>SET UP<\/span><\/span> A COMMISSION OF INQUIRY <\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Upon <\/span><\/span>assuming <\/span><\/span>office, the Governor General took an oath <\/span><\/span>\u201cto preserve the constitution of<\/span><\/span> Antigua <\/span><\/span>and Barbuda and the law\u201d<\/span><\/span> and <\/span><\/span>\u201cconscientiously, impartially and to the best of [his] ability discharge [his] duties as and do right to all manner of people without fear or favour, affection or ill-will.\u201d<\/span><\/span> \u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In the light of the debate concerning his powers to call a Commission of Inquiry into matters related to <\/span><\/span>the circumstances under which certain <\/span><\/span>African citizens <\/span><\/span>arrived <\/span><\/span>i<\/span><\/span>n <\/span><\/span>Antigua, the<\/span><\/span> Governor General instructed his office to secure independent expert legal advice upon whether he has a power to call a Commission of Inquiry in the absence of a request from the <\/span><\/span>C<\/span><\/span>abinet (or <\/span><\/span>a <\/span><\/span>duly authorised <\/span><\/span>M<\/span><\/span>inister). \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Accordingly, the Office of the Governor General engaged <\/span><\/span>legal firm BDB <\/span><\/span>Pitmans<\/span><\/span> LLP, a reputable <\/span><\/span>c<\/span><\/span>hamber with vast <\/span><\/span>c<\/span><\/span>onstitutional <\/span><\/span>l<\/span><\/span>aw <\/span><\/span>experience <\/span><\/span>a<\/span><\/span>t the level of the<\/span><\/span> Privy Council<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> to instruct <\/span><\/span>London based <\/span><\/span>senior counsel, Gregory Jones KC<\/span><\/span> to provide<\/span><\/span> a written legal opinion. <\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0In addition, the Governor General also separately <\/span><\/span>instructed senior counsel, Allan S. Wood <\/span><\/span>KC, based<\/span><\/span> in the Caribbean <\/span><\/span>to provide <\/span><\/span>an opinion on the same question. \u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Acting independently of each other<\/span><\/span>, both <\/span><\/span>KCs<\/span><\/span> came to the same view quite separately: namely, that it would not be lawful under the Constitution of Antigua and Barbuda for the Governor General to call a Commission of <\/span><\/span>Inquiry otherwise<\/span><\/span> than upon the advice of the Cabinet (or a duly <\/span><\/span>authorised Minister<\/span><\/span>).<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

It should be noted that this view also accords with a written legal opinion dated 18 September 2002<\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span>held by the Governor General\u2019s <\/span><\/span>office<\/span><\/span> and obtained by the previous Governor General from <\/span><\/span>a <\/span><\/span>specialist independent counsel in London. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

These legal opinions also accord with past practice<\/span><\/span>T<\/span><\/span>he record shows that <\/span><\/span>on <\/span><\/span>all<\/span><\/span> previous occasions when <\/span><\/span>Commissions of Inquiry were established, <\/span><\/span>they were only done<\/span><\/span> upon the advice of the Cabinet.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Consistent with the principles of transparency and impartiality, the Governor General wrote by letter<\/span><\/span>s<\/span><\/span>dated<\/span><\/span> May<\/span><\/span> 24<\/span><\/span>th<\/span><\/span> and 25<\/span><\/span>th<\/span><\/span> 2023<\/span><\/span>, to the Government and the Opposition <\/span><\/span>respectively, <\/span><\/span>setting out the legal position and enclosing copies of all three legal opinions.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span>For the benefit of the <\/span><\/span>general public<\/span><\/span>, the said legal opinions are attached for information purposes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In summary, the inability of the Governor General lawfully to act alone in this matter is well-established. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Governor General is bound by his oath of office to act in accordance with the established law<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
