GMOA to appoint functioning caretaker Ex-Co

A majority of the Executive Committee (caretaker) of the GMOA currently plunged in a legal wrangle has decided to call for a Special General Meeting shortly to appoint a 'functioning' caretaker Executive Committee with the mandate of the GMOA membership to deal with important issues of the membership which presently is being neglected due to the current conflict in the caretaker Ex-Co.

This group of six doctors have stressed the need to have a functioning united committee until the present court cases (filed by Janapriya and Prabash Gardiyahewa against the GOA) are concluded.

The Board of Trustees together with over 100 members have requested him in writing to summon a special general meeting. A.B. Padeniya Secretary of the caretaker Executive Committee representing the majority Ex-Co membership and Secretary of the caretaker Executive Committee told the Daily News.

The majority of the Ex-Co members elected in June 2001 felt that there is a crisis situation in the GMOA since there was no new office bearers to the Ex-Co elected at the AGM in June 2002 and therefore it was immoral for the current Ex-Co elected last year to continue in office for an indefinite period.

"We have been elected only for a period of one year and the membership has not given a mandate for us to continue more than one year," he said.

"Therefore they had no right to take decisions on behalf of the membership," Dr. Padeniya said.
