Georgetown: President Donald Ramotar has announced that following consultations with Opposition Leader, David Granger, the members to the four Service Commissions are scheduled to be sworn in, in the new week.
The four Service Commissions are: the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), Teaching Service Commission (TSC), the Public Service Commission and the Police Service Commission.
The Head of State nevertheless lamented the slothful pace at which the Parliament is moving with regards to the other constitutional commissions, including the Rights of the Child, which are yet to be addressed.
With the exception of the TSC, parliamentary inputs into the membership of the other three had to be garnered. Nominations through the parliamentary procedure include: former Justice Lennox Perry for the JSC; Patrick Yarde and Patricia Went for the Public Service Commission and Harold Martin, Keith John, Omesh Satyanand and Alvin Smith for the Police Service Commission.
Discussions between the President and the Opposition Leader resulted in the appointment of Leila Ramson, Mayda Persaud and Allan Monroe for the TSC; former Justice Prem Persaud for the JSC and Carvil Duncan, Cecil Seepersaud, and Vidya Looknauth for the Public Service Commission.
