And in other legal news, government will now finally have a Solicitor General to fight all those cases. Exactly one year after former Solicitor General Tanya Herwanger resigned, her replacement has been named. Today Prime Minister Dean Barrow confirmed that Oscar Ramjeet will take up office as the Solicitor General on Monday June 15th. He is an attorney and journalist who has worked across the region. He will fill the vacuum left by Herwanger who suddenly quit on June 24th of 2008 – after only 5 months on the job. Barrow today welcomed the replacement.

Hon. Dean Barrow,
