Acting Chief Justice of Guyana Roxane George-Wiltshire says she will rule on all cases relating to the No-Confidence motion at the end of the month, according to an online report for News Room.
The acting Chief Justice said she is cognisant that the nation is waiting and so she will deal with the matters urgently, at a brief hearing on Tuesday.
Private citizen, Compton Reid moved to the High Court seeking orders to set aside the No Confidence vote of December 21 on the grounds that the vote of Charrandass Persaud was invalid because he holds a Canadian passport.
Further, Reid is seeking an order from the court to “stay” the enforcement of the Parliamentary resolution, namely that elections be held in three months unless an extension is agreed to by the Opposition.
The Government is also seeking a conservatory order, preserving the status quo ante that the President and all Ministers of the Government remain in office until the hearing and determination of the matter.
As such, George-Wiltshire, however, said she will not deal with these applications.
Government subsequently moved to the court to block the enforcement of the No-Confidence motion and to establish what constitutes a majority in the National Assembly.
The action was filed by a team of lawyers led by Senior Counsel Rex McKay.
Attorney-at-law, Christopher Ram later filed a court action asking the court to rule that the December 21 vote of No-Confidence was validly and lawfully passed.
Meanwhile, the Guyanese Defence Force has commenced preparations to hold general and regional elections in June, according to a News Room online report.
According to an official communication sent to high-ranking officials of the Army; as in all preparations for elections by the Army, the operation is called Plexus, the online report said.
The letter, seen by the News Room, outlined the passage of the No Confidence motion was tabled by the members of the Opposition and passed in the National Assembly, “triggering new elections for no later than June, 2019.” It also cited the legal challenges made by the Government to nullify the vote which secured passage of the motion.
The Operation will target electoral activities in all 10 administrative regions.
