Letter to the Sports Editor…ANTHONY SUFFERING FROM INSOMNIA

Dec 18, 2012 Sports

 

 

Dear Editor,
Mitt Romney flip flopped his way out of a possibility to become the President of United States of America because he faced an opponent who was focused except for one debate and clearly honest.
Romney even managed to cop the lie of the year award for his statement about Obama causing jeep to move operations to China.
Minister Anthony seemed confused as to the real reason why he disbanded the GCB or as he wants us to believe why he acted on instructions to disband the GCB, a private unincorporated sports entity.
He sometimes seemed at best confused about how sporting entities manage their business and ignorant of the rules and regulations that govern them.
Recently, in the Wednesday 13th December edition of Stabroek News, the minister stated that he disbanded the GCB because of the Chief Justice ruling. Lie number one, as the Honourable Chief Justice Ian Chang ruling never give him the right to do so and he should read the Caribbean Court of Justice ruling in the case RAJENDRA SINGH & ROBIN SINGH v THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF GUYANA which states; “It is trite law, as stated in John v Rees, that a club or an association if unincorporated is not an entity separate from its members and so cannot sue or be sued. Nevertheless, it is also trite law, as stated in Hanchett-Stanford v Att-Gen, “that the members for the time being of an unincorporated association are beneficially entitled to ’its’ assets, subject to the contractual arrangements between them”.
He then tried to blame the ICC saying that their regulations give him the right to do so. Lie number two as the regulations gives you the right to investigate fraud, one would assume if any is found, the police lay criminal charges and the business of the Board moves on, no such evidence was found so certainly no charges were laid against officers of the GCB.
He also said that the entire GCB had resigned. Lie number three, as this never happened and if I had resigned he should provide the evidence. He does have apparently a document from one officer which refers to state sponsored searches and harassment. That officer has clearly indicated that he has not resigned from the GCB.
Mr Anthony also claimed that there is an injunction against the GCB, lie number four; we have the documents to prove otherwise.
Your attorney general should not outsource his office but participate in these matters so that he will be better informed.
Maybe, after all of this Mr. Frank Anthony should resign and I advise that he sends that resignation to President Ramoutar and not the Secretary or President of the GCB or WICB, it would not be valid. The first time I tried Ambien was in 2002 and it worked like a charm https://ochoaspharmacy.com/ambien
Lying, Mr. Minister did not help Mitt Romney and it will not help you. Try some simple things like I made a mistake or I received the wrong information or even as Mr Jagdeo said, “I was busy and the boys gave the wrong advice but we need to move on.”  Actually he (Jagdeo) had a solution which you definitely derailed with your legislation to take control of cricket administration claiming it is identical to the TTCB legislation. Well if they are identical I resemble Tom Cruise.
You Mr. Anthony sent letters to all the officers of the GCB instructing that the board is disbanded and all assets must be handed over to you.
You then placed locks on our doors, you then searched our homes and offices, you then seized our assets and documents which you still have despite a court order to return them, you then trumped up charges against our secretary for perjury when none exist and no response is forth coming to the high court challenge, you took the GCB to court claiming its assets as ownerless. At every stage we had to respond to your court challenge or go to court to stop you.
I am an optimist, so when I read that you decided to write FIFA to solve the football issue, I said to a few people “he is learning”, I was told “FIFA is not the WICB, they ban you and talk later.”
