GCB Summon Extraordinary Meeting

May 03, 2018 Sports

It now appears as though the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) has decided that the Guyana Cricket Administration Act #14 of 2014 should be implemented in full. The Cricket Board has, in the past, indicated that while it would adhere to the Act a challenge was instituted in the high court questioning the legality of many aspects of the piece of legislation.
Citing Article 10 of the Act, the GCB has summoned an Extraordinary Meeting to appoint a Cricket Ombudsman.
Article 10 of the Act states:
1. There shall be an authority known as the Cricket Ombudsman who shall hold office for a period of three years after the Ombudsman has been elected by a two third majority of the members present and voting at an extraordinary meeting of the Guyana Cricket Board.
2. Where there are two or more candidates vying for the post of cricket ombudsman and no candidate receives a two third majority, there shall be a run off between the two candidates with the highest number of votes in which the Ombudsman shall be chosen by a majority vote.
3. The primary task of the Cricket Ombudsman for the duration of his appointment shall be the responsibility for the verification of the Register of Clubs and for performing the functions of Returning Officer for the elections of the membership of the Guyana Cricket Board.
4. The other functions of the Ombudsman and the rules of office shall be prescribed by regulations.
The GCB consists of three members namely, the Essequibo Cricket Board, Demerara Cricket Board and the Berbice Cricket Board. Each member is entitled to nine votes at any general meeting.
The meeting of members is scheduled to take place today at 17:00hrs the GCB Boardroom.
