Private sector calls on President to name elections date

The Private Sector Commission (PSC) yesterday called on President David Granger to name a date for general elections now that he has been given advice on a timetable and it also criticised GECOM for providing a date that was in contravention of the Constitution.

Noting that on Thursday, GECOM Chair, Justice (Rtd) Claudette Singh informed President Granger by letter that elections would be possible by the end of February 2020, the PSC called on him to set the election date for the ending of February and to do so without further delay.

The PSC also flayed GECOM over its February framework, noting that it had given Justice Singh time since her appointment on July 29th to make the crucial decisions before her.
