Dave posted:New GECOM Chair: ‘Jagdeo can’t just throw six names to the President’ – Ramjattan
Leader of the Alliance For Change (AFC) Khemraj Ramjattan says many persons are of the view that the Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo can immediately submit six nominees for the next GECOM Chair to the President but this is not the case.
“It is not as if the Leader of the Opposition can go and put six names into the hands of the President. They must meet and they can deliberate on six names that are acceptable to the President and from those six, he can select one.”
Ramjattan seems to be dreaming-up a process.
Process is ...
1. Leader of the Opposition SUBMITS a list of candidates to the President.
2. President may select one or reject the list.
3. Process continues until a person is selected.
Note --- AFTER the list is submitted; indeed the two could but they do not have to sit down and then jointly select a person.
