– supports Corbin’s court moveThe Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC) says that it supports the move by Robert Corbin, Leader of the Opposition, to have the court adjudicate the legality of the Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC).“This matter borders on rights and the rule of law and has implications for governance and society. For as long as the Constitution remains the foundation upon which the society is structured and governed,Cheap Soccer Jerseys For Sale, and the wellbeing of the citizens protected, good governance and the respect for the citizens can only be ensured through adherence.”The ERC is a constitutional body mandated to investigate complaints of racial discrimination, among other things.“Last week, Corbin announced that he has moved to the courts to question the legality of ERC.In 2007 when the Commission’s life expired,NBA Jerseys China, Mr. Andrew Garnett, Labour’s substantive Commissioner, demitted the post.Mr. Carvil Duncan, Labour’s alternate Commissioner,Cheap Soccer Jerseys Free Shipping, was accordingly advised of the Commission’s unconstitutionality and its implications. The Court, another pillar of governance, is now presented the opportunity to interpret and rule on a critical section in our Constitution and citizens will be paying keen attention to the proceedings.”According to GTUC, for many the ERC has morphed into a de-facto arm of the administration,Cheap MLB Jerseys Authentic, abandoning its responsibility to be an impartial body.GTUC argued that the ERC has failed to execute its mandated tasks without fear, favour, or ill will,Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys, and as such citizens are being denied the needed service to resolve ethnic conflicts.“Further, the continued presence of the three commissioners, fully aware that the body’s continuity is reliant on parliamentary authority, coupled with its seeming pre-disposition to be at the government’s beckoning have sustained valid uneasiness of collusions among the body, government and the PPP to misuse the people’s resources and violate their rights.”GTUC accused ERC of presiding on instances where there have been ethnic conflicts but failed miserably.“Some instances are the Indian Arrival Committee (IAC) complaint against Dr. Kean Gibson’s book, “The Cycle of Racial Oppression,NFL Jerseys China Online,” and the Canal Number Two, West Bank Demerara, alleged exorcism by a pastor on a teenager.”According to the union body, the IAC accusation was that “The Cycle of Racial Oppression” was creating racial problems in the society. Instead of addressing the complaint, the Commission  questioned the book’s scholarship, thereafter using it as justification to threaten the author’s right to freedom of expression and earn a living.“In the latter, the unilateral immersion and pronouncement of (ERC Chairman, Juan) Edghill  saw the elimination of due process and an impartial inquiry. The mishandling of this delicate matter in an ethnically diverse community contributed to exacerbating the conflicts, GTUC said.“Of concern is the recentutterance by the Private Sector Commission [PSC) that it respects the legality of the ERC in spite of the absence of the required mandate to continue operating.  The PSC is seen as a major civic institution and it is hoped the body revisits its pronouncement and offers the citizenry the assurance, that unlike the government, it will uphold the Constitution and respect their rights.”GTUC also expressed its concerns of the recent condemnation from the governing People’s Progressive Party/Civic on a matter of this importance placed before the court for adjudication. “This statement, though in compliance with the PPP style of governance, clearly contradicts its May Day Message that it is a party that upholds the Constitution of the Cooperative Republic.”
