Further, it alludes that the Commission has the power to remove and to exercise disciplinary control over such staff.
“So the only delegation that this Article of the Constitution speaks of is to delegate the function to one or more members of the Commission.
“It does not care for the delegation of this function to anybody extraneous of the Commission,” Gunraj added.
The Commissioner said too that even if the suggestion is to be considered, it would have been moot since GECOM has not yet started the process of consideration. In fact, the final draft of vacancy advertisements is still being sorted.
The Commission met on Thursday and the final tweaking of the requirements for the new CEO, the Deputy CEO among the other vacancies were discussed.
Gunraj hopes that within the next week those vacancies can be advertised. The absence of the CEO and other key senior functionaries are already being felt, with PPP/C Commissioner Bibi Shadick positing that there is a real possibility that the GECOM can grind to a halt.
Gunraj had contended too that the work of the GECOM was being “crippled”.
Among those key positions to be filled is that of the Chief Accounting Officer and that official’s absence has resulted in serious financial issues within the electoral body.
