The newly appointed Bar Council of the Guyana Bar Association (GBA) yesterday expressed concern at the non-appointment of a Guyana Elections Commission (Gecom) chairman and said that the vacancy ought to be filled urgently.
In a press release issued yesterday, the GBA said that it noted with “deep concern that there has not yet been agreement on the appointment of the Chairman of the Elections Commission. It is of paramount importance that this constitutional office be urgently filled… the position has been vacant since November, 2016.” Dr Steve Surujbally was the last chairman.
