@Former Member posted:Reforms needed before another election in Guyana – Harmon admits
Opposition Leader Joseph Harmon on Friday admitted that there are certain changes in the electoral system that need to take place before the country has another election.
“The constitutional reform committee is…important to us because we want to make certain interventions there so that we can have some changes made to certain aspects of our Constitution,”
“We know that constitutional reform will take a while but, in the meantime, we believe that in a bipartisan way, we can address issues which have been raised by the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) and by our own Court of Appeal in relation to our own electoral laws. We need to address those even before we get into another elections,” Harmon said during a press conference.
When the PNCR/AFC?APNU formed the government in 2015, the then Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo was assigned the prime responsibilities to make the needed changes to the constitution.
It will be of interest to know what he has done in the five plus years in government on this assignment.
