No move by appointments committee to set up ERC

Dr George Norton

There has been no move by the National Assembly’s Committee of Appointments to begin the process of reconstituting the defunct Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC) despite being urged to do so by Speaker of the National Assembly, Raphael Trotman and the PPP.

Leader of the Alliance for Change (AFC) Khemraj Ramjattan says he too believes that the issue of the appointment of the commissioners for the ERC should be dealt with as a matter of urgency.
