Chase: No legal barrier to CWI boss Shallow staying on

Should Cricket West Indies (CWI) president Dr Kishore Shallow continue at the helm of the regional governing body following his victory in last Thursday’s general elections in St Vincent and the Grenadines?On Monday, Chase, responding to a query about Shallow’s new dispensation, stated: “I have perused the Memorandum and Articles of Association of Cricket West Indies (CWI). It does not appear to contain any specific clause that prohibits an office holder such as the president of CWI or Director from simultaneously holding national political office such as being a minister or MP.”For now, the ball remains in the court of CWI’s directors—who may soon have to decide whether politics and cricket can share the same crease in the Caribbean.

“My research shows there is no explicit conflict of interest clause that addresses political affiliation or governmental roles. In my respectful view, without a clear constitutional prohibition, there is no legal barrier for Dr Shallow holding both roles as CWI president and minister or part of the new Government in St Vincent and the Grenadines.”Chase stressed that unless CWI’s territorial boards adopt new rules specifically preventing top executives from entering political office, Shallow remains duly eligible to lead the regional organisation.

Chase stressed that unless CWI’s territorial boards adopt new rules specifically preventing top executives from entering political office, Shallow remains duly eligible to lead the regional organisation.He added that the CWI constitution focuses largely on governance structure rather than imposing restrictions based on personal status. “It does not anticipate a situation where a top leader also becomes an elected politician, hence no explicit prohibition. It may treat conflict of interest primarily in terms of financial or commercial conflicts, not governance versus politics,” Chase explained.

Again, Hunte was not in political office when he was WICB President, so there is no such precedent.

Tell that to his mouth piece.


And if yall think that the Real Precedent of ignoring Practice and decent tradition etc and rules we see daily from the Orange goat in the USA wont play a part....

The World is far worse off since... as the wicked ones believe they can do as they please.
