NGOs: No invitation to submit councillor nominations
 |
The
Coalition of Good Governance (CGG) today claimed that it is yet to
receive any invitation to submit its nominations for NGO councillors
across Selangor by the end of January 2014.
They said this in response to Selangor executive councillor for local government, Teng Chang Kim, who claimed that NGOs had yet to submit their nominations for NGO councillor positions.
Teng said over the weekend that NGOs had "jumped the gun" with their concerns about NGO representation dropping in local council quotas.
"On the nomination of councillors by NGOs, we cannot be expected to nominate when no invitation had been sent to us by your (Teng) exco for us to do so.
“For the record, we look forward to receiving your invitation," CGG, a coalition of 55 NGOs including Empower and Komas, said in a statement.
CGG also said any guideline on the nominations was also beyond their knowledge and that they would be contacting the Selangor economic planning unit (Upen) to furnish them with the relevant guideline on the matter.
It then asked for a full list of all NGO councillors in the state, pointing out that they coalition would then determine who among the list have a "legitimate track record" in the NGO circle.
"For the record, we would like to request a list of councilors in all Selangor councils that you (Teng) deem fall under the NGO sector. We woukd revert to you and let you know how many on the list have a legitimate track record within the NGO circle," it said.
"We hope the above points would explain our position that CGG has not jumped the gun and has been extremely patient for the last five years watching the erosion of our NGO quota and the sincerity of election promises," the statement further said.
