The Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Guyana (FITUG) has called on the country’s national leaders to heed the orders emanating from the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) by acting with “integrity” in the upholding of the relevant provisions of the Constitution.
In a release on Tuesday, FITUG stated that like many Guyanese, they “anxiously awaited” the ruling of the CCJ following the Court’s determination that the No Confidence Motion (NCM) was properly passed on December 21, 2018. At the same time, the Court offered its guidance regarding the appointment of a Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) after it ruled that the previous Chairman, retired Justice James Patterson, was improperly appointed and in the eyes of the Federation, the two issues are “obviously connected.”
