President David Granger yesterday met with Secretary-General of CARICOM, Irwin LaRoque, whom he assured that he is prepared to comply with the ruling of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ)  on the matter of the motion of no-confidence and is committed to ensuring credible elections are held.

The CCJ on Tuesday upheld the motion of no confidence against the government on December 21, 2018 and consequential orders are to be issued by the court – Guyana’s highest – on Monday in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad.

A Ministry of the Presidency release stated that the President engaged LaRocque on the critical matter, relating that he will soon be inviting Leader of the Opposition, Bharrat Jagdeo, to a meeting.
