Special meeting of public service credit union called as battle continues for control

The Guyana Public Service Co-Operative Credit Union Limited (GPSCCUL) is to hold a Special General Meeting on February 5, 2024 as two factions continue to battle for control of it.

An advertisement in today’s Sunday Stabroek said that pursuant to Regulation 16 of the Co-Operative Societies Regulations and an order by Justice Navindra Singh of December 15th 2023 and entered on December 21st 2023 in the matter of Mehalai Mc Almont et al and the GPSCCUL notice was being given of the meeting to be held on Monday February 5th at 10 am at the Critchlow Labour College.  The notice of the meeting was issued under the name of Trevor Benn, Member of the Committee of Management of GPSCCUL.

 

Several motions are listed. The first seeks the recall of the current management of the GPSCCUL. The second seeks the nomination of a new Committee of Management Members. The third seeks to move that the following nine members not be re-elected to serve on the committee of management, namely, Karen Vanslutyman-Corbin, Gillian Pollard, Ruth Howard, O Saskia Eastman-Onwuzirike, Charles Ogle, Jermain Hermanstyne, Leslyn Noble, Michelle David and Arthur Gibbs.

After the motions, the election of new committee of management members will be held.

The notice said that Vice Chairman of the Committee of Management, Patrick Mentore will preside over the meeting.

The two sides have been locked in years of court battles over the credit union.
