Dear Editor,
It is with utter amazement and astonishment that I read an article in another section of the Media relating to the holding of elections for the GCB quoting several statements from the Minister of Sport, Dr. Frank Anthony. I will reserve my comments on his interpretation of his signature legislation, the Guyana Cricket Administration Act, as we are all aware of the numerous flaws and deficiencies within the Act.
However, my major concern is with a particular comment that he made regarding the state of affairs concerning the Demerara Cricket Board. In response to a direct question about the DCB, Dr Anthony stated and I quote, “…there is an injunction against those persons holding themselves out as executives of the Board and that is being dealt with by the Attorney General’s Office.”
This is quite a revealing statement by the Minister and we certainly hope that he would elaborate on this statement as surely we are not aware that the AG’s office or the AG is representing any of the parties in any of the DCB legal matters. Is the Minister insinuating that the AG’s office is making representations or exerting any level of influence or control over the judiciary so much so that Dr Anthony can make such bold statements regarding when elections for the DCB and the GCB will or can be held?
I implore the Minister of Sport to explain this statement in its entirety as there has been much speculation and suspicions regarding the timing of several legal hearings, adjournments, decisions and now this bold statement. Was it a slip or was it intentional?
