Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday submitted to the Ministry of the Presidency 11 names of persons who were originally nominated for Chairmanship of GECOM and who have agreed to have their names resubmitted.
The eleven are:
- Annette Arjoon-Martins
- B S Roy (retired Justice of Appeal)
- Gerry Gouveia
- Joseph Singh (Retired Major General and former GECOM Chairman)
- Kashir Khan (attorney)
- Krisndatt Persaud (former Senior Magistrate)
- Lawrence Lachmansingh
- Norman McLean (Retired Major General)
- Onesi La Fleur
- Ramesh Dookhoo
- William Ramlal
The submission of the names follows a meeting on Wednesday between President David Granger and Jagdeo on a new Chairman of GECOM following a ruling on June 18 by the Caribbean Court of Justice that the appointment of Justice (Retired) James Patterson was illicit.
Jagdeo had submitted three separate lists of six names for the consideration of the President Granger. The President had rejected them and then unilaterally appointed Justice Patterson.
