Ramu forget to mention the other player Reepu Daman Persaud,who was involve in crafting Article 161 (2)
When Django open his mouth,the truth come out.
Django....legally...regardless of what this article says, there is wide room here to make an argument that the President’s unilateral action (it was unilateral) in securing a GECOM chairman was an extra-legal move on his part. Ramotar and Nandlall seems to be making this case.
Politically, it was a move that minimized consultation and compromise, as the original Carter formula intended. For the leader of the country not to have that discussion, then reject 3 submissions, is, in my mind, minimizing the level of compromise and bargaining that is necessary for social cohesion.
Politically also...it shows, at least from the perspective of PPP supporters, that this government is intent, with this action, and others, on minimizing the role of those who are in the opposition.
There is no need to split hairs on this one...the political ramifications of Granger’s actions and the manner in which the person was selected (after 3 submissions!) does not bore well for the country...largely because the institution headed by the GECOM chairman is as controversial as all of Guyana’s elections....including those to come.
Change the process of selecting the GECOM Chairman,let a Parliamentary Committee,make up of all political parties,make the decision,also remove all political party representation from the Commission give it to independent individuals.That might be tough to find independent individuals in such a small population,so the imbroglio will continue.
That sounds like a good plan.
