Letter to the Sports Editor…Raj Singh pathetically tried to conceal the blatant hijacking of the DCB

Mar 27, 2013 Sports

 

 

Dear Editor,
Raj Singh’s lengthy diatribe in the Kaieteur News (KN) of 24 March 2013 and in the Guyana Times newspapers is yet another pathetic attempt to conceal the blatant hijacking of the Demerara Cricket Board (DCB) by two (2) of it s four (4) constituent members. These two (2) members are the East Bank Demerara Cricket Association (EBDCA) headed by Rohan Sarjoo and the West Demerara Cricket Association (WDCA) headed by Lalta Digamber; they have imposed an illegal Committee, which is not even known to the public, on the administration of cricket in Demerara.
Raj Singh has been asked quite simply what process was used to elect the Committee of the DCB of which he purports to be the President and who were the individuals who attended the secretive meeting of the DCB on 25 January, 2013. Also what are the names of the persons who are now holding themselves out as Executive Members of the DCB. Raj Singh should advise the public why he disregarded the injunction issued on 25 January, 2013 by Madame Justice Diana Insanally and proceeded to hold elections of the DCB even without a quorum.
Instead of responding to these critical questions, Raj Singh focuses his expansive missive on defaming our President’s character. Perhaps this is his way of deflecting the real issue of his involvement in the illegal DCB elections.
For the records, Bissoondyal Singh and Roger Harper are the Presidents of the East Coast Cricket Board (ECCB) and the Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA) respectively. These two (2) constituent members of the DCB have the cricket structures in place that have produced cricketers for the Demerara teams and the National teams. These are the two (2) Associations which Raj Singh is attempting to ostracise from the administration of Demerara cricket.
Mr. Rajendra Singh, since you are claiming that you normally video record meetings and publish same as echoed in your ramblings and this being the most contentious meeting of the DCB, we are sure that you electronically record same, so as a constituent member of the DCB we demand the following: 1. The minutes of the so-called meeting /elections, 2. The video recordings, 3. the names of the delegates who voted, 4. the names of the persons who were elected to office.
The DCB is a national institution and while the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) continues to tolerate the illegal Guyana Cricket Board because of self-serving interest, we as a constituent member of the DCB demands from this phantom apparatus the names of the DCB Executives. We also hope Raj Singh does not come up with another set of ramblings to cover-up the theft of the DCB. Just let the public as well as the constituent members of the DCB know who the executives of the DCB are.
The Executives of the
East Coast Cricket Board
