Django posted:For over two decades,three Gecom Chairman were Indo Guyanese,namely
(1) Doodnauth Singh
(2) Goocol Boodhoo
(3) Dr.Steve Surujbally.
Afro Guyanese names were submitted but none were selected,there seems to be a political biasness,the PPP are only satisfied when the head of GECOM,is an Indo Guyanese.
On one of the list submitted,Justice James Patterson name listed and Cheddi Jagan choose Doodnauth Singh,it's mind boggling at that time who were more Qualified and "fit and proper"
The Commission is made up of seven members,The Chairman,Three (3) members appointed by the President, acting in his own deliberate judgement and Three (3) members appointed by the President acting on the advice of the Leader of the Opposition after he has meaningfully consulted the non-governmental opposition parties represented in the National Assembly.
It appears the Chairman is a key figure and Afro Guyanese aren't Qualified and "Fit and Proper" they can't be trusted,that's the mind set of most Indo Guyanese....Ironic.
Django, there are times when you can be a real knucklehead. This comment, I assume is yours, is one of those times when you are a Real knucklehead.
Read your post above this one, its contradicts everything you are saying here, Ramkarran like others, nailed the problem on its head.
It is not about the fact that previous GECOM chairmen were Indos, it is the manner in which they are selected. And the the PPP has always been a victim of the PNC and its selection of the GECOM chair.
The bigger picture is the PNC, which cannot be trusted to have free and fair election, is laying the foundation for rigging the next election, and a total control of society.
Guys like you are short-sighted, you are not seeing the larger picture, let alone that the current uproar is about Granger’s move to create a dictatorship, and to really entrench the PNC in power for a long time to come.
I submit to you that the only reason the PNC can do all of this is they have no respect for the PPP, Jagdeo (despite all his weaknesses) and Indos. I would add that they will have respect only if and when the Indos take to the streets in protest and show their anger like Africans...are you willing to do this?
Your statement above is not only anti-Indo, but you seek to justify the nonsense Granger is doing.
