Dear Editor,
It is puzzling that a meeting of the elections body, duly called and commenced with the required quorum, suddenly cannot be proceeded with due to the walkout of one member comprising the quorum.
How can a meeting, legally constituted, suddenly be deemed unconstitutional because a member chose to no longer be a participant?
This is pure damn nonsense and ways and means must be found for meetings, once legally called and commenced, to continue despite disruptive behaviour.
First, the disruptive side was not supportive of the date announced for elections, clamouring there were no consultations, leading to the first walkout. However, eventually the side meekly acceded, even though remaining thoroughly unsupportive and disruptive of the work plan.
I am now learning of an emergency quorum rule being instituted to prevent further gridlock (GT June 4). It is hoped this measure would greatly assist the work of the body as it prepares for September 1 and beyond.
Sincerely,
Shamshun Mohamed
