DECISIVE DECISION – President averts constitutional crisis

  

CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS

That Article was amended in 2000, under then President Jagdeo to give the leader of the opposition the responsibility to submit a list of six persons from among whom the President could appoint a chairman. The caveat is that the list has to be not unacceptable to the President.

In a case where the leader of the opposition failed to submit a list, as provided by the Constitution, the President would appoint as GECOM Chairman, a judge, a former judge or a person qualified to be a judge,.

Perhaps, this individual has failed to grasp the simple fact that the Opposition Leader has not failed to submit a list of candidates.

Had the Opposition Leader not submitted a list, the president would then have the absolute right to appoint a person.
