Shenanigans are trumping and obstructing GECOM’s work

Jan 08, 2025 Letters

Dear Editor,

Shenanigans have trumped meetings and decision making at GECOM. On Dec 17, 2024 when the commission last met, it was proposed that there should have been no recess except for the observance of the public holidays, since there are many urgent and time bound matters to be determined in relation to the upcoming 2025 elections. The proposal was scuttled by a 4:3 votes, which has become the voting pattern at GECOM. It was decided to reconvene meeting on Jan. 7, 2025.

On the morning of Jan. 7, notice was received from two of the government nominated commissioners that due to personal commitments they would be unable to attend the scheduled meeting. As a consequence, the meeting was cancelled for the want of a quorum.

This cancelation has further postponed the Chairman’s review of her contribution to the discussion on the introduction of enhanced biometrics, after taking two weeks to make a contribution on a matter that had been discussed for four prior sessions.

There is ongoing nonchalance in respect to this matter and other outstanding matters. There are those who are clearly holding up the decision-making processes with the danger of time being used as a factor in not making a positive decision.

Shenanigans are trumping and obstructing GECOM’s deliberations and ultimately derailing pertinent issues.

Yours truly,

Commissioners: Alexander, Corbin and Trotman.
