Public Service credit union members ask court to recognise ousted officials, allow June 25 meeting

The Management Committee members who brought the motion against Trevor Benn

The ongoing feud in the Guyana Public Service Co-operative Credit Union (GPSCCU) has landed in the High Court, which three members have petitioned for declarations that Trevor Benn and Patrick Mentore are the union’s duly elected Chairman and Vice-Chairman, respectively, and that a Special General Meeting of Mem-bers be allowed for June 25, 2022.

After seeking to remove Benn, the management committee of the credit union itself came under pressure several weeks ago when over 375 members moved for the removal of the entire body and the announcement of new elections within 14 days. That number has now increased to nearly 2,000.
