GECOM is putting its house in order

Apr 15, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

Justice Claudette Singh is on course in having two important matters of the commission settled, that is, having key positions in the secretariat filled as well as the completion of the house to house registration that was so much acclaimed by The Opposition PNC. All of these important issues will be addressed in time for Local Government Elections.
Getting things right at GECOM is great news and a welcomed development, it is a step in the right direction in the fulfillment of the democratic process. We want the democratic process to work, free, transparent, fair and just, to all the parties involved. We want to run away as far from and as fast from, the backwardness and shame of the 2015 – 2020 period, when democracy hung in the balance and our country was earmarked to becoming the pariah of The Caribbean.
Thankfully, that lawlessness and shame was averted and good sense prevailed. In this regard GECOM must take cautious steps in fulfilling its mandate, as careful, proper scrutiny – no more no less – of every single person to hold office there. Those who are chosen to administer the day to day administration of our elections must go through that acid test.
Now, the pace at which things are being done at GECOM is cause for concern in some quarters, namely The PNC Opposition to be exact. They are of the opinion that things are moving painfully slow and should be speeded up, but like I said in a previous paragraph filling GECOM’s Positions must be carefully done, so as to avoid the pitfalls of yesteryear.

Respectfully Submitted
Neil Adams
