The Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha says it is deeply disturbed at President David Granger’s unilateral appointment and hasty swearing in of a Chairman of Gecom.
According to a release from the Dharmic Sabha, the Constitution of Guyana enshrines a process for the selection of a Gecom Chairman which up until now has been adhered to by all past Presidents. While the Constitution provides for the President to appoint a Chairman of Gecom in the instances where no list is provided by the Opposition Leader or if those persons on the list are found not to be “fit and proper”, the Dharmic Sabha finds it wholly unacceptable that he has chosen to ignore the three lists provided by the Leader of the Opposition without giving any reason as to the unsuitability of those nominees, the release said.
