President David Granger will use the recent court ruling to guide his selection of a Chairperson of the Guyana Elections Commission (Gecom), Minister of State Joseph Harmon said yesterday.
“The president respects the ruling of the court in this matter and has no intention of stepping outside of the boundaries that [are] established there. He respects that ruling and I want to make that very clear,” Harmon said during a post-Cabinet press briefing, where he made it clear that the president wants the appointment resolved as quickly as possible.
Asked if Granger is considering the ruling as part of his decision making, Harmon responded, “Well, yes, certainly.”
Almost two months ago, acting Chief Justice Roxane George delivered an oral judgment on an application made by businessman Marcel Gaskin for declaratory orders on the meaning of Article 161(2).
