Oh I see.  LGE for 16 years past due because the PPP blocked it, and now suddenly its the PNC's fault.

 

Interesting.

 

I guess the PPP would rather LGE be held, but some voters disenfranchised because certain municipalities have now grown beyond their legal boundaries.

Ok, let us give you the PPP delay point, alyuh mek a big scene and vow LGE.  Now what, GECOM said it's the NEW GOVT blocking, so forget the PPP, deal with the current issue.

Where did GECOM say this?

Govt. assures GECOM of immediate move towards LGE

…once draft amendments green-lighted Minister of Communities Ronald Bulkan has assured the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) of an immediate move towards the long awaited Local Government Elections (LGE), once the Commission has green-lighted draft amendments for Parliamentary passage.

The Minister’s assurance came at a meeting between his Ministry and the Commission yesterday, which was called to discuss the existing state of affairs with regard to conducting LGE.

Along with the Minister was a senior team from the Communities Ministry, which included Permanent Secretary Emil McGarrell. Chief Election Officer (CEO), Keith Lowenfield; Deputy Chief Election Officer, Vishnu Persaud and Legal Officer Juanita Barker among others represented the GECOM contingent.

The last time LGEs were held in Guyana was almost two decades ago under the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) administration. Before being elected to office at the May 2015 Regional and General Elections, the coalition A Partnership for National Unity and Alliance For Change (APNU+AFC) promised Guyanese an expedient holding of LGE. During his presentations at Parliamentary sittings, Minister Bulkan had said that the country can expect LGEs before the end of the year.

According to a statement from the Commission, the meeting was held at Lowenfield’s request to clarify issues of mutual concern to GECOM and the Ministry of Communities in relation to Local Government Elections. Lowenfield highlighted to Minister Bulkan the need for prerequisites, which were outside the remit of the Commission and needed to conclusively be addressed.

During the CEO’s presentation, he made it clear that GECOM cannot arbitrarily proceed to prepare a Preliminary List of Voters to conduct its Claims and Objections period in order to finalise the respective Registers of Voters necessary to conduct LGE in the 65 Neighbourhood Democratic Councils (NDCs) and the six Municipalities in Guyana.

Existing legislation surrounding the Preliminary List of Voters requires that the Lists be prepared from the Official List of Electors. Said list was last used for the 1992 General and Regional Elections.

Therefore the legislation must be amended to clear the way for the Lists to be extracted from the up-to-date National Register of Registrants.

The proposed (draft) amendment, among others, has already been prepared in one document with consultations between GECOM’s legal personnel and the Ministry of Legal Affairs.

The entire document will be in GECOM’s possession and the Commission will give the go ahead for the amendments to be taken to Parliament for the Government’s approval. Until GECOM is given the legal authority to extract the Preliminary List of Voters, the Commission cannot move forward with its Work Plan to conduct LGE.

Lowenfield pointed out that Minister Bulkan in his capacity as Minister of Communities, along with the need for the enforced amendments, is required to issue an Order declaring the Local Authority Areas in which Local Government Elections will be held.

Moreover, the CEO stressed that housing communities at the Municipalities of Corriverton, Anna Regina and Bartica’s Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC) had grown beyond their respective boundaries.

 

Lowenfield explained that the authority to extend the boundaries of these Local Authority Areas is vested in the Minister of Communities and urged that the matter be addressed promptly. This, he said, would ensure that concerned citizens are given the opportunity to participate in the LGE.

During his presentation, Minister Bulkan assured that his Ministry will move immediately after GECOM green-lights the draft amendments to have them approved by Parliament.

He further assured the Commission that his Ministry will be focusing attention towards addressing the publication of the Order declaring the Local Authority Areas in which Local Government Elections will be held. In addition, the Minister will address concerns about the boundaries of the Municipalities of Corriverton, Anna Regina and the Bartica NDC.

Govt blocking full readiness for local polls – GECOM

The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) on Friday said that the new Government was blocking its attempts

 

This is a misleading  statement by GT the mouthpiece for PPP propaganda. Show in the article where this is substantiated. Since 1992 what did PPP do to fix the descrepancies?

what about "GECOM SAID NO SUCH THING!" that your feeble mind cannot comprehend?

The PNC lied again. They said that they will hold local government election within the first 100 days but now decided against it.  are you blaming the PPP for the PNC ineptness.    The PPP is gone, you have today to decide.  Tomorrow will never come. All the talks about fairness and good governance were thrown out of the window. It was just a smokes screen to win the election.  And you know it so admit it.

lol

Nah, they are just bold face liars and con-men!

Govt blocking full readiness for local polls – GECOM

what are you, some sort of retard?

 

baseman done absorb nuff nuff licks pan this thread for this foolishness

 

suh wuh happen, u jealous and lookin for yuh share?

Another piece of bull from Ravi Dev and the yellow rag seeking revenge for their removal from the teat of the state.

And you have a shitload of bull as an indo hater.

Banna, baseman got no licks, is alyuh dancing and prancing saying deh seh, but dem ain't really seh woa deh seh.  So woa you seh deh lil antiman.

He mentioned some shyte about some Indian side of his family not being very welcoming to some Amerindian person so they left and went away.  That made him an anti-Indian.  I guess he got caught up somewhere in the halabalu and never recovered.

uh huh . . .  what is it about "GECOM SAID NO SUCH THING!" that your feeble mind cannot comprehend?

 

provide the quote from GECOM or any GECOM official and i will stand down (plenty quotes to pick from in the GT article, btw)

* oh, one thing, i meant skin-peeling lash not "licks"

Base, the Guyana Times headline is misleading and the newspaper is misrepresenting GECOM's position. I won't be surprised to see a GECOM statement tomorrow criticizing Guyana Times.

it does not matter if it is a lie. It is the PPP's way and now they have Ravi as their prize Goebbels doing their ghoulish deeds. Every day this past week the had a misleading, spurious or completely villainous and deceptive one. As I said, this is just a massaging of race.

The current issue is that BECAUSE of the PPP delays, the boundaries for the municipalities are NO LONGER VALID?  Had their been LGE these boundaries would have adjusted, but given that the last LGE was 21 years ago the boundaries HAVE NEVER been adjusted to reflect cganges over the past TWENTY ONE Years.

 

Now if they go ahead with the old boundaries, and the PPP screams that the election was rigged because some people were not allowed to vote as they weren't included in the municipality, what would you say?

 

 

redux help me here.  Was there ever a promise within the first 100 days, or an ATTEMPT to host it before the end of the year?

 

The PPP are confused.  If there is no boundary adjustment (with the need to educate people as to which jurisdiction they were voting in) wouldn't the PPP not scream that the election is invalid, as those living OUTSIDE of the old boundaries are excluded.

 

This is not the PNC preventing.  This is GECOM doing its job.

the '100 days' promise was to set a date.

So, will it be 2043?

is this 'funny' supposed to divert attention from the avalanche of ignorance u already posted on this thread?

 

rale antiman runnings

No, a lot earlier, but by 2043 the APNU/AFC Govt should be working on other issues. Perhaps because of a weak PPP party, the govt might even be assisting with the putting together of a proper opposition party that's there for the peoples interest.

Item no. 9

 

Set date for the early holding of Local Government Elections.

 

Status.

 

Partially fulfilled.

 

Minister of Communities Ronald Bulkan has said that the administration is holding elections before the end of the year. Nagamootoo told the House on Friday that all legislative reforms have been completed for holding of local government elections. "These elections .. will be held by December 7, 2015," he said.
