They can try the courts but just as the PPP had their Pocket Judge who always ruled in their favor, Granger has his in place as well. Guyanese are royally screwed once again by crooks.

Interesting times ahead as Guyana heads for elections in 2020.

Since independence, Guyanese have never really have to spend anything to guarantee their freedom and democracy so they generally take it for granted. The day may not be too far away when Guyanese will have to earn that freedom and democracy.

He has unilaterally selected a crony as GECOM head. This is the way the cookie crumbles. The impotent PPP is back to its stupid non cooperation mode when it should be using this as a means to mobilize and gather people to the polls. Make it hard for him to steal the elections.

On point.

Reasons why Granger didn't care how his popularity looks when he dedicated his time to build a stronger PNC foundation to guarantee his party survival. He rid all PPP personnel from government ministries, strangle Indian survival of sugar, and concentrate heavily on oil. 

Why the shock of this from Granger.  Look at how he treated dissenters from within the PNC.  He is a passive aggressive man and this is how he shows his power.  He lacks charisma and basic smarts so must surround himself with cronies.

The issue with this government isn't just racial exclusion.  It is also exclusion of all who aren't in the GDF and over 68.  Doesn't matter whether they are capable.

When he loses in 2020 he will just shrug his shoulders as will the rest of his ageing dinosaurs.  Too bad for the younger folks who will be minced alive by Jagdeo when he goes on his "kill blackman, ahbe pan tap"  rampage.

Jagdeo like he gave Black Bush Bigan to some, I see them squealing like PIGS they are

‘It is a dangerous decision’ – Private Sector on appointment of GECOM chair

By admin On Oct 20, 2017, https://newsroom.gy/2017/10/20...ment-of-gecom-chair/

The Private Sector Commission (PSC) today declared as “dangerous” President David Granger’s unilateral decision to appoint retired High Court Judge, Justice James Patterson as Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM).

“The decision of the President to act unilaterally and independently of the submissions of the Leader of the Opposition poses a clear threat to democracy and will inevitably divide the nation and lead to economic instability.  It is a dangerous decision,” the PSC said in a statement issued on Friday.

The PSC said it was extremely unfortunate that the President and the Leader of the Opposition failed to find agreement on the appointment of the Chairman of the Elections Commission.

The PSC said throughout the entire process of exchange between the President and the Leader of the Opposition, it had hoped that the appointment of the Chairman of GECOM would continue in an open and transparent manner and in accord with the requirements of the Constitution.

This is just sound bites from PSC that mean nothing to Granger.
