GCB moves to block passage of legislation
Speaker of the National Assembly Raphael Trotman on Thursday last declared that the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) has moved to the High Court to block the House from passing the legislation that will govern the management of the game locally.
Trotman stated that while the dispute on the Cricket Administration Bill has been adjourned, he does not believe that the Court could dictate that the House could not consider the draft law.
The GCB and 10 others have filed the writ against the Attorney General, Anil Nandlall; Minister of Culture Youth and Sport, Dr. Frank Anthony and the Speaker seeking declarations and orders regarding the House’s ability to pass the Bill.
The Government hopes that the Cricket Administration Bill will establish the GCB and county boards as corporate institutions with separate constitutions.
However, the West Indies Cricket Board has already condemned the Bill, saying that the International Cricket Council is opposed to government involvement in the game.
