Reply to "New GECOM Chairman"

Appointed by the President from a list of six persons, not unacceptable to the President, submitted by the Leader of the Opposition after meaningful consultation with the non-governmental political parties represented in the National Assembly.”

 

Granger said the list isn't acceptable to him. The constitution doesn't say that he must justify his choice. All it says is that the list is unacceptable to the president.

They can carry this to court.

The PPP never thought that they would lose so didn't see why the constitution should be fixed. Clearly the PNC wasn't going to change their own constitution as they dreamed of the day when they would regain power.

So here we are and people can scream about why Granger isn't abiding by the Carter mechanism, but there is nothing that legally prevents him from refusing to do this.

Jagdeo will make better use of his time if he insists that an independent commission be established to change the constitution. On that he will have the support of most right thinking Guyanese.  But he will NOT do this as he loves the constitution, because if he wins it serves his interests very well.
