Cabinet agreed Guyana Cricket Administration Bill be shared with opposition
– Texiera
Presidential Advisor, Gail Texiera, at a recent cabinet press briefing said that they had agreed that the Guyana Cricket Administration Bill should be shared with opposition parties in advance, and the Minister of Sport Dr. Frank Anthony convened a meeting of the Parliamentary parties to examine same, which was held on Wednesday last.
In response to AFC leader Khemraj Ramjattan recent statement in the press, she said he wasn’t at the meeting. “Dr. Rupert Roopnarine, the Attorney General Anil Nandalall, Minister of Sport Dr. Frank Anthony and members of the IMC were at the meeting, I understand they went through the Bill clause by clause and there were a number of proposed amendments to be made to it.”
“At this point the Attorney General and the Minister of Sport will apprise the Government and the President of the proposed Amendments that they have agreed to, so that we will make a decision on the bill, whether it will be tabled on December 17th or whether due to further discussions we would hold it for the 20th or a later date,” she added.
Ramjattan had earlier said that the Government wants to control the affairs of the game in Guyana and he is happy with the attitude of the West Indies Cricket Board in relation to the bill. He is of the opinion that not only the GCB and the county boards be corporatized but the clubs and sub associations that fall under them as well.
