Civic character of constitution reform body must not be lost – GHRA

Welcoming the inauguration of the Constitutional Reform Commission (CRC), the human rights body, GHRA yesterday said that its civic character must not be lost.

With the remaining CRC members having been sworn in last week, the Guyana Human Rights Association (GHRA) said that the inauguration of the body symbolizes the strengthening of mechanisms capable of shaping political, social and family life in Guyana.

Reservations about the method of selection or other limitations of the CRC process notwithstanding, the GHRA welcomed the CRC and wished it well.

It said that initiatives that enable people to make political decisions as directly as possible are to be welcomed.
