NOMINEE	COMMENT
Annette Arjoon-Martins	Unqualified
B S Roy (retired Justice of Appeal)
Gerry Gouveia	Provocation
Joseph Singh (Retired Major General and former GECOM  Chairman)	Unfortunately disqualified because of his controversial son . . . yes, I am talking PPP “compromat” noting the imminent return of tapeman Roger Khan
Kashir Khan (attorney)
Krisndatt Persaud (former Senior Magistrate)
Lawrence Lachmansingh
Norman McLean (Retired Major General)	Provocation
Onesi La Fleur	Unqualified
Ramesh Dookhoo	Provocation
William Ramlal

Are you Granger? Who are you to render judgement? I bet you won't hesitate to recommend PNC dunce Basil Williams.

Snowy, guyana is a small country bai, dem run out of names already. How many judge dem gat? Surujbally was not even a judge and he was accepted by pnc to be legitimate chairman. Now pnc calling fuh former judge, who fit and prappa. Very subjective criteria interpreted by jackass granger. Now snowster, why don't you put forward a list of names who will qualify?

Nothing wrong with Granger rejecting the candidates that Jagdeo propose. But he has to provide reasons for rejecting them. He cannot behave as he did. Like a pompous, ignorant, arrogant ass.

At the recent meeting between President Granger and the Opposition leader, it was agreed to re-submit the names from the last three list. Next step is to weed out the undesirables by both of them. Let see how this will play out .

Granger is still the President and he is charge. Vinegar and salt can help weed out the undesirables. 

They will come to an agreement. Granger kaking di wuk with all these shenanigans buying time and pushing elections into 2020. 

Sheer kak passing!!

Sheer kak passing!!

the only "kak passing" is y'all heavy lifting to shift attention from the guts of the issue with illogical, silly talk of PNC risking all for literally a few more months in office

when everybody sane knows that Granger would agree to elections 'tomorrow' with a clean list!

Jagdeo resubmits 11 names for GECOM Chairman

By Staff Editor On July 7, 2019 In Guyana News |

https://www.stabroeknews.com/2...-for-gecom-chairman/

Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday submitted to the Ministry of the Presidency 11 names of persons who were originally nominated for Chairmanship of GECOM and who have agreed to have their names resubmitted.

The eleven are:

• Annette Arjoon-Martins
• B S Roy (retired Justice of Appeal)
• Gerry Gouveia
• Joseph Singh (Retired Major General and former GECOM  Chairman)
• Kashir Khan (attorney)
• Krisndatt Persaud (former Senior Magistrate)
• Lawrence Lachmansingh
• Norman McLean (Retired Major General)
• Onesi La Fleur
• Ramesh Dookhoo
• William Ramlal

The submission of the names follows a meeting on Wednesday between President David Granger and Jagdeo on a new Chairman of GECOM following a ruling on June 18 by the Caribbean Court of Justice that the appointment of Justice (Retired) James Patterson was illicit.

Jagdeo had submitted three separate lists of six names for the consideration of the President Granger. The President had rejected them and then unilaterally appointed Justice Patterson.

OK...I am not following your logic...

i thought Jagdeo told Granger he will submit people from the same rejected lists if they were available and willing to serve?

What is the problem with JOE SINGH? Did he not serve that position before and he  and Granger are squaddies?

What do you mean by “Provocation”? I don’t know much about Joe Singh’s son,  but why should that make him unqualified? His son is an adult, isn’t he? What happened to “you make your children, but you do not make their minds “.

Looking at your comment....

...what makes the "unqualifieds" unqualified?

I can see Goveia and Norman Maclean as being rejected, but that still leave 5 others with no comment (Ramlall, Latchmansingh, Persaud, Khan, Roy)

...Is your objection because they are "Indians"?

Onesi La Fleur?

Why is he unqualified?

I noticed that Jagdeo submitted the names of Norman McLean, a known criminal and dead PNC racist while he was in uniform and Gerry Gouviea the man who transported Walter Rodney’s assassin to the interior where he escaped into French Guiana. Two corrupt individuals. I don’t know anything about Onesi Le Fleur, so I wouldn’t comment? I don’t know much about Mr. Ramesh Dookhoo, again I wouldn’t comment.

I would like to know the reasons why these two have been placed on the list. Would you do this Mr. Opposition Leader?

Someone told me the reason is to score points with Guyanese Portuguese.

All you need is ONE chairman, let Granger present a list.

I hope the eleven nominees are "fit and proper" to be GECOM's Chairman. 

Currently there is a new process to arrive with six names to be submitted to the President, from which one will be picked to be GECOM  Chairman.

The names submitted by the PPPC explicitly confirms and are within the requirements of the Guyana Constitution.

Gov’t, Opposition to meet this afternoon on nominees for GECOM Chair

July 8 2019

Source

Representatives of President David Granger and Leader of the Opposition, Bharrat Jagdeo, will meet at 5pm today at Castellani House to discuss nominations for the Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM).

A release from the Ministry of the Presidency today said that this meeting follows last Thursday’s meeting between President Granger and Jagdeo at the Ministry of the Presidency where the means of selecting a new Chairman of the Elections Commission was discussed.

Today’s meeting, the release said, is in keeping with the Caribbean Court of Justice’s ruling which said the two sides should work together to produce a list of persons to be considered for the post.

President Granger will be represented by Vice President and Minister of Public Security,  Khemraj Ramjattan; Minister of Public Health, Volda Lawrence and Director General of the Ministry of the Presidency,  Joseph Harmon.

Jagdeo will be represented by Gail Teixeira and Anil Nandlall. The release said that the two teams will meet regularly to ‘hammer out’ the names of persons to arrive at a list of six which the Leader of the Opposition will present to President Granger and from which the President would choose one person to be named as GECOM Chair.

On Saturday, Jagdeo submitted a list of 11 names drawn from the 18 he had previously submitted but which had been rejected by Granger. The eleven are  Annette Arjoon-Martins, B S Roy (retired Justice of Appeal), Gerry Gouveia, Joseph Singh (Retired Major General and former GECOM  Chairman), Kashir Khan (attorney), Krisndatt Persaud (former Senior Magistrate), Lawrence Lachmansingh, Norman McLean (Retired Major General), Onesi La Fleur, Ramesh Dookhoo,” said a letter, dated July 6th,  from PPP/C executive Gail Teixeira to Director General of the Ministry of the Presidency Joseph Harmon.

The release noted that Granger had said at a press briefing on Thursday that the Leader of the Opposition is free to submit the names that have already been submitted on the past three lists and he has also agreed to confirm that those persons are still willing to have their names forwarded.

“So, the names that have been submitted before are not eliminated…the process which has been identified by the CCJ allows the President to make submissions in the form of this `hammering out’ that the CCJ has enjoined us to adopt. So that is as much as we have achieved. I think it is a move forward towards the appointment of a Chairman of the Commission and I am confident that once there is a Chairman of the Commission, who enjoys the confidence of both the Opposition and the Government, the Commission itself will start to function much more smoothly. So, I hope …that we can move forward now and Guyanese can look forward to credible elections in as shortest time as possible,” the Head of State said.

SHould there not be equal representation at these meetings? Why are there three people negotiating on the Government side and two people on the Opposition side? Did the Opposition not raise this unequal representation to the Governmemnt or add another person to their side? If my memory serves me well, I recall Gail Texeira being a rat in the PPP administration running to the US Embassy complaining about the how the PPP phantom squad were engaged in unprofessional conduct. I don’t trust this woman. She should be kicked out of the PPP.

Did these nominees attach to their resume a Police Clearance or would one be done after a selection is made? Those two thugs should never have been placed on the list. I wouldn’t be surprised if Granger picks McLean and the we sk$$t dead.

Skeldon_man, everyone's opinion is valid on GNI. Even the Prince and Blackmen opinions are valid. You must listen rather than judging. It's not coolie time yet you know.

Guyana is my country as well. I also have ancestors whose bones are interred there dating back to the last ice age!

They can use AMAZON to deliver Ballot Boxes.

Wait, wait. I see the list was not submitted by Jagdeo. Why is Gail acting on behalf of the Leader of the Opposition?

Not a problem Don. Texeira and Nandlall is far more superior to the entire hapless Coalition put together. Ramjattan is the only one of the three Coalition representative who is bright but he is nowhere near Nandlall.

The other nominees are 

Stanley Ming,

Kesaundra Alves,

Dr Aubrey Armstrong,

Kadim Khan,

Kim Kyte-Thomas,

Justice Claudette La Bennett

Justice Stanley Moore.

The President made nominations after Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo said that in keeping with the CCJ ruling of June 18 he would be prepared to consider nominees though he will have the final say on the list to be submitted.

Representatives of President  Granger and Leader of the Opposition,  Jagdeo, will met this afternoon at Castellani House to discuss nominations for the Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM).

President Granger was represented by Vice President and Minister of Public Security,  Khemraj Ramjattan; Minister of Public Health, Volda Lawrence and Director General of the Ministry of the Presidency,  Joseph Harmon.

Jagdeo was represented by Gail Teixeira, Juan Edghill  and Anil Nandlall. The release said that the two teams will meet regularly to ‘hammer out’ the names of persons to arrive at a list of six which the Leader of the Opposition will present to President Granger and from which the President would choose one person to be named as GECOM Chair.

said a letter, dated July 6th,  from PPP/C executive Gail Teixeira to Director General of the Ministry of the Presidency Joseph Harmon.

While the President may suggest/recommend names; it is the Leader of the Opposition who submits the formal list of Candidates; as clearly stated in the Constitution; for the position of Chairman.

What is this?  Granger submitting names to himself?  

You see the things Granger and group adore with immense joys.
