Abstract:
|
The President of Guyana has changed his decision and is now ready to have consultations with the Oppostion parties to elect a new Chairman of the Electoral Commision of Guyana. There is mounting pressure on President Hoyte to invite CARICOM to send its own observer team to monitor the Guyana elections. Officials from the Caribbean fully support this call and gives their insights into this matter. In Haiti, Madame Ertha Pascal-Trouillot who was arrested for complicity and charged for corruption was released from prison today and placed under house arrest. Mr. Emile Gumbs, Chief Minister of Anguilla shares Mr. Lavity Stoutt, Chief Minister of the British Virgin Islands concerns. Mr. Gumbs believes that the death penalty in a small island is a definite deterrent and that the territories should have decided for themselves on this matter. |
