ECCB condemns efforts to hold disruptive Demerara Cricket Board Elections
Davteerth Anandjit ECCB Secretary
Kaieteur News – East Coast Cricket Board Secretary Davteerth Anandjit has issued a statement strongly condemning efforts to hold an election for the body, when according to him, an election has already been held and an appropriately constituted body has been in operation since last year.
The full text of the statement from the ECCB Secretary is:
“The East Coast Cricket Board condemns a late attempt by the East Coast Cricket Committee to block Demerara Cricket Board’s legal elections.
The Executive Committee of the East Coast Cricket Board, which held legal and spontaneous elections in August, 2020, notes with disgust and complete surprise the attempt by some people to stop and / or cause confusion in the long-awaited legal elections of Demerara Cricket Board, which said a legitimate election was imminent.
The East Coast Cricket Board, in the classified ads section of the Guyana Chronicle Newspaper on February 5th, 2021, discovered that some clubs, referring to themselves as illegal and abruptly known as the East Coast Cricket Board, had issued a warning for the Coast Coast Cricket election East. Board. ”
“The East Coast Cricket Board held legitimate elections in August, 2020 and that election has not been challenged by anyone. The East Coast Cricket Board that held the elections in August, 2020 is the same East Coast Cricket Board recognized by the High Court in Action No. 622 FDA 2018 (Demerara) as a legitimate and legitimate East Coast Cricket Board. In that High Court Case, Anand Sanasie had challenged the legitimacy of the East Coast Cricket Board and failed, tragically, her challenge.
Sanasie, the ‘so-called’ Secretary of the Guyana Cricket Board who is not a secretary has always refused to acknowledge the legitimate East Coast Cricket Board but instead has chosen to acknowledge his support group, the East Coast Cricket Committee.
As recently as October, 2020, the East Coast Cricket Committee issued two press releases in the print media, Guyana Times on October 21, 2020 and Guyana Chronicle on October 22, 2020 where the East Coast Cricket Committee announced their alleged success of cricket on the East Coast and made disparaging remarks about a legitimate and legitimate East Coast Cricket Board.
Now that a legitimate election of the Demerara Cricket Board is imminent, the individuals or groups who proudly stood out to be the East Coast Cricket Committee have now metamorphosed into the East Coast Cricket Board. “
“The reason for the metamorphosis is simple. Only the East Coast Cricket Board recognized under the Guyana Cricket Administration Act can legally vote in the Demerara Cricket Board election.
East Coast Cricket Board wishes to remind the public that, at the lawful election of the Berbice Cricket Board, the “new and embryonic” Upper Corentyne Cricket Association emerged less than two weeks before the Berbice Cricket Board election in an attempt to cause confusion, but the Learned Judge saw in the matter of the Berbice Cricket Board through the sinister scheme and the attempt to interfere with the lawful election of the Berbice Cricket Board was thwarted.
Truth, Justice and the Law will always prevail and this attempt by the East Coast Cricket Committee to interfere in the legitimate election of the Demerara Cricket Board will suffer a stillbirth. ”
“The East Coast Cricket Board is a legitimate entity and anyone trying to impersonate Board officials or take over their functions will suffer the consequences. Imitation is a crime. ”
