Mr.
George noted that although the Chairman of the Commission has
given wide publicity to the business of the Commission, the
members of the Commission representing the United Workers
Party have still not received any indication from him as to
the contents of the Report which he has submitted to the
Governor General. He noted also that up to now the members of
the Commission have not received minutes of the Conclusions of
the last meeting of the Commission.
In
his letter Mr. George also reiterated the position which he
had put in his previous communication to the Prime Minister,
that “the proceedings of the Commission were seriously
flawed by virtue of breaches of procedure and due process, and
this requires that serious consideration be given, within the
terms of the relevant sections of the Constitution, to
re-establishing a situation of fairness which can lead to an
electoral process acceptable to all.
Finally, Mr.
George asserted that if re-opening of the Commission’s
proceedings “should require consultation with the Governor
General, the matter is sufficiently serious that this course
of action should be pursued."
