Dear Editor,
I find it quite extraordinary that the Commission of Inquiry into the March 2020 General and Regional Elections has agreed to allow the Attorney-at-Law Nigel Hughes, representing former Deputy Chief Elections Officer Roxanne Myers, to cross-examine witnesses who have volunteered to come before the Inquiry and have named Myers for the part she played, when Myers herself has declined to give evidence before the Commission.
Quite frankly, if I were one of those witnesses, I would point blank refuse to be examined by Hughes. I am not a lawyer, but surely, the decision made by the Commission can hardly be regarded as fair and just.
Yours sincerely,
Kit Nascimento
