Sports Minister, GCB executives to resolve issues
Three-man committee to draft new constitution
Minister of Sport, Dr. Frank Anthony yesterday morning met with executives of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) in his Ministry’s Boardroom and discussed with them the much publicized problems which he warned could harm the image of the Board.
The Minister had convened the meeting following reports in the local print media drawing attention to rifts in the Board’s executive.
The meeting identified the issues affecting the organization and sought to determine how they could be resolved.
Against the background in which the presence of more than one constitution presented a problem, it was agreed that a committee comprising one member each from the Ministry and the Board and a representative of the legal fraternity would be set up to draft a new constitution and present it to the membership for ratification.
Advice was made available to the GCB members on the application of systems for the more efficient handling of financial matters and about ways to secure value for money when undertaking large construction works.
Dr. Anthony appealed to the Board’s representatives to put aside the animosity developed over the past months and asked those who previously represented factions to speak with one voice.
The Minister was accompanied by Permanent Secretary, Mr. Alfred King and the Director of Sport, Mr. Neil Kumar.
The Board’s delegation was headed by the President, Chetram Singh and included the two Vice Presidents, Bissoondial Singh and Fizul Bacchus, Secretary, Anand Sanasie, Assistant Secretary, Ronald Williams, Marketing Manager, Ramsay Ali, Public Relations Officer, Terry Holder and Chairman of Selectors, Claude Raphael.
They expressed appreciation to the Minister for the interest demonstrated and pledged to make the development of Guyana’s cricket the primary focus in the future.
This executive, headed by Chetram Singh who has been at the helm since 1991, was elected to serve a two-year term at the last GCB elections last year January.
