GRPA granted leave to respond to court action

May 26, 2009 News

Justice Winston Patterson yesterday gave the Guyana Rice Producers Association (GRPA) 14 days to file a response to the court action mounted by the RPA Action Committee for an alleged breach of the elections rules of the GRPA.

Attorney-at-Law Anil Nandlall appeared on behalf of the GRPA in court, while the contenders, rice producers, Turhane Doerga and Jinnah Rahman, are being represented by Saphier Hussein.
On April 30, Doerga and Rahman secured several court orders against the Guyana Rice Producers Association (GRPA) in an attempt to prohibit the intended elections by the Committee of District Associations.

Justice Winston Patterson has ordered that the Guyana Rice Producers Association show cause why an Order of Writ of Certiorari should not be issued to quash the list of names constituting the nomination of candidates purportedly made for the posts of members of the Committee of the District Association.
The affidavit adds that the Guyana Rice Producers Association had, by alleged notice, scheduled the election for May 2, 2009 contrary to Section Four of the Act.
The affidavit alleges several breaches of regulations by the GRPA.
