FITUG calls for unconditional acceptance of CCJ edicts

The Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Guyana (FITUG) has urged the unconditional acceptance of the rulings of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) regarding the validity of the December 21 no-confidence motion against the government and the appointment of the elections commission chairman and has urged leaders to find a consensual way forward.

“The landmark rulings, in our view, have provided final answers to several important questions which have occupied the national space for many months now. We were heartened that the CCJ has provided, what we felt were, clear and unambiguous answers to the questions that were posed. The FITUG, recognising that we have the answers we sought at hand, sees that we need to now put in place the necessary arrangements to address the consequences of the rulings to ensure that there is full compliance with the Constitution of Guyana,” the trades’ union body said in a statement on Wednesday.
