GECOM Commissioner’s suggestion for special tribunal sounds familiar

Jul 22, 2021 Letters

Dear Editor,

As the opposition continues on its mission to thwart the work of GECOM, it was allegedly posited by one of its commissioners, in the matter of the motions brought against the electoral fraud trio, that a “neutral tribunal” could be set up probably by an Order which would state mandate, composition and procedure (Demerara Waves, July 20) . Sounds familiar? An Order was established in the recount of votes, which was agreed upon and which was later challenged in the courts. Are we going down that road again? Hell no!

Additionally, it has to be wondered if a meeting is fully and legally convened and agenda items are being dealt with, but as soon as an unfavourable item on the agenda comes up and one section walks out or log out, the meeting cannot continue for lack of quorum and has to be aborted. Why is this? The meeting was legally called to order, why can’t it continue? The meeting has a legal chair, so discussions and decisions have to be seen as legal and binding. I feel that once the meeting was properly called to order in keeping with all protocols, the walking out of some should not hinder its continuation. The options at the disposal of the chair should be invoked so legitimate business is not held up.

Yours truly,
Shamshun Mohamed
