It took longer than expected for the challenge to the jurisdiction of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) to materialise. In expressing support for electoral reform in an interview on May 14, Leader of the PNCR and former President David Granger said that the Guyana Court of Appeal, and not the CCJ, should rule on electoral matters. Describing the foreign influence to be ‘phenomenal,’ ‘relentless’ and ‘toxic, he said that the ‘very strong’ Court of Appeal was competent to rule on electoral matters inside Guyana. If Mr. Granger was referring to the CCJ as foreign, he is badly mistaken. It is as indigenous as cook-up and pepperpot.
