Gail Teixeira notes absence of meeting between President, Opposition Leader

Jul 25, 2019 News

Opposition Chief Whip, Gail Teixeira, says it is unbelievable that one week has passed and no meeting has been scheduled for the continuation of discussions at the informal level either between the Leader of the Opposition and the President or with their emissaries.
“We, in the Parliamentary Opposition, thought that we were making progress in the informal engagement, albeit slow, with four names that are “not unacceptable” to the President.
“Despite the CCJ’s ruling that the appointment of the chairman in accordance with the constitution is of ‘utmost urgency,’ and the President’s statement on July 12 that the appointment could be done in a matter of days, the Leader of the Opposition’s informal submission of an additional four names on July 18 for the President’s consideration with regards to their acceptability to him remains unanswered.”
This is the “bad Faith” that the Caribbean Court of Justice warned about in their June 18 ruling and July 12 consequential orders, Teixeira said.
President Granger’s public statements must no longer believed, she said.
“On several occasions, Granger changed his mind and in others openly contradicted earlier public statements such as those he made on July 12, and July 19, 2019 which are a complete reversal of the statements he made at his July 4 press conference following the meeting with the Leader of the Opposition with regards to the appointment of the Chair of the Guyana Elections Commission.”
The Leader of the Opposition has on more than one occasion written to the President and declared publicly “his availability to meet at any time and daily” in order to conclude the informal process of finding six names “not unacceptable” to the President in keeping with Article 161 (2), Ms. Teixeira added.
