Mr. Nehruski read what Donald Ramouthar said.Well VISHMAHABIR,the young kid have to be excused due to his age.

Ramu forget to mention the other player Reepu Daman Persaud,who was involve  in crafting Article 161 (2)

Ok brite boy, you tell us why “it was crafted as such”

For the last few weeks, that’s all you’re opening your mouth and sing without providing any substantial evidence in support of before the amendment and after,  the benefit to PPP after the amendments

Django....legally...regardless of what this article says, there is wide room here to make an argument that the President’s unilateral action (it was unilateral) in securing a GECOM chairman was an extra-legal move on his part. Ramotar and Nandlall seems to be making this case.

Politically, it was a move that minimized consultation and compromise, as the original Carter formula intended. For the leader of the country not to have that discussion, then reject 3 submissions, is, in my mind, minimizing the level of compromise and bargaining that is necessary for social cohesion.

Politically also...it shows, at least from the perspective of PPP supporters, that this government is intent, with this action, and others, on minimizing the role of those who are in the opposition.

There is no need to split hairs on this one...the political ramifications of Granger’s actions and the manner in which the person was selected (after 3 submissions!) does not bore well for the country...largely because the institution headed by the GECOM chairman is as controversial as all of Guyana’s elections....including those to come.

Do you know what was the article in the 1980 Constitution,nominating the Chairman of the Elections Commission ?

Do some work and compare the two, by the way alyuh thought the PPP will be in government forever,alyuh leader who came thru the back door,tried a thing suh he will be president for life, oh well he was mowed down.

Change the process of selecting the GECOM Chairman,let a Parliamentary Committee,make up of all political parties,make the decision,also remove all political party representation from the Commission give it to independent individuals.That might be tough to find independent individuals in such a small population,so the imbroglio will continue.

That's the way it should have been,the PPP had a chance to implement such.Knowing them old PNC-ite they wont make the chance.

Anyway the people should bond together and fight for these changes,let it be a level playing field.

My cup of tea,in any country periodic change of government is healthy for democracy.

Django bhai, nah get so defensive dis early marnin. Looks like you smoking some of that cheap weed you hide under your workbench. Have to ask Brother Cain to recommend some potent stuff. 

According to Mr Ramotar, Article 161 (2) was "coined" during the PPP regime to include the Opposition Leader in the equation for consensus sake and to remove the unilateral presidential power to appoint a GECOM chairman. So, since a PPP President agreed to Article 161 (2), how can Django argue that the  PPP thought it would rule forever? I think Granger has blatantly removed from the equation the Opposition Leader provision. THAT is authoritarian.

You hear dat bai Djangy? Granger is a dictator.

To put it bluntly, Granger is a pro Burnham style Thug and Bully. 

All Black PNC presidents were riggers and thugs, Granger is following closely in their footsteps.

This mantra getting old, there will always be a Black or Indian President,until a Mixed or Amerindian emerged. There is no need to rig any elections currently.

1. I fully understand English language unlike you.. don"t throw stone @someone glass house  when you live in one, i may not be good in English, but I have good common sense.

now down to business what you flying your two sided mouth about.

Folks, one minute Django is about fairness to the people, now he is about PPP crafting a constitution that came back to bite them... make up your bloody mind.

The 1980 constitution was for a consultation or so with the opposition leader.. Burnham could have picked the phone all tell Cheddie, this is the election chairman period. Hoyte use the same constitution.

The PPP with consultation with PNC changes the constitution to have more inclusiveness of the opposition. The same PNC who riots in GT about the 1980 constitution after using same for decades.

The amendments - "there shall be a chairman , who shall be a full-time chairman appointed by the President from a list of six persons, not unacceptable to the President, submitted to the President by the Leader of the opposition after meaningful consultation with the non-governmental parties in the National Assembly"

the current chairman selected by Granger  is a religious leader who was a pall bearer at Hoyte funeral and the fact that he Patterson the current chairman lied  on his CV when he said he was the Chief Justice of Grenada.Paterson blames his pen -- ayo en shame Django.

the part of your response I highlite, why drag yourself down the gutter , you are better that this.

Need I add, Hoyte was a bigger rigger than Burnham.

Hari Om Hari....

A mantra like that? Me tired hearing dat black mantra too.

The bold in your post i does call culvert corner discussion.

161. Elections Commission

(1) There shall be an Elections Commission for Guyana consisting of a Chairman,
who shall be a full-time Chairman and shall not engage in any other form of
employment, and such other members as may be appointed in accordance with
the provisions of this article.

(2) Subject to the provisions or paragraph (4), the Chairman of the Elections
Commission shall be a person who holds or who has held office as a judge of a
court having unlimited jurisdiction in civil and criminal matters in some part of
the Commonwealth or a court having jurisdiction in appeals from any such court
or who is qualified to be appointed as any such judge, or any other fit and proper
person, to be appointed by the President from a list of six persons, not
unacceptable to the President, submitted by the Leader of the Opposition after
meaningful consultation with the non-governmental political parties
represented in the National Assembly:

Provided that if the Leader of the Opposition fails to submit a list as provided
for, the President shall appoint a person who holds or has held office as a judge
of a court having unlimited jurisdiction in civil and criminal matters in some part
of the Commonwealth or a court having jurisdiction in appeals from any such
court or who is qualified to be appointed as any such judge.

The above is the article from the Constitution.Now use your commonsense and tell,why the eight words in bold and highlighted was inserted.

Yogapedia explains Hari Om

Repetition of Hari Om forms a type of meditation in itself, referred to simply as Hari Om meditation. To meditate on Hari Om is said to activate the chakras. In doing so, kundalini energy, which is stored at the base of the spine.

Yeah, you need some of that Kundalini energy

I prefer "Yoga Meditation" to blank your mind the things around you.
