Sanasie, Skerritt at odds over ethics code allegations

The upcoming presidential election of Cricket West Indies (CWI) will prove to be an engrossing one, as presidential candidates Anand Sanasie and Ricky Skerritt took verbal jabs at each other a mere six days before the election.
In a missive disseminated on Monday morning, incumbent President Skerritt has challenged the validity of Sanasie’s recent report of an ethics violation on the part of Skerritt, to the CWI Ethics Committee, denouncing claims that if proven true could hinder his campaign.
Skerritt’s statement is as follows:
“I note that Mr Anand Sanasie has publicly stated that he has ‘reported’ me to the CWI Ethics Committee because of my attendance at a meeting with Honourable Charles Ramson of Guyana. Other than through Mr Sanasie’s public announcement, I have not been notified that there is any matter before the Ethics Committee.

Meanwhile, shortly after Skerritt’s allegations were circulated, Sanasie, the current Secretary of the embroiled GCB, underscored that the statement was reflective of the incumbent’s true colours and promised to make a formal response soon.
Sanasie’s statement is as follows:
“I have seen a statement from CWI President Ricky Skerritt and will be responding formally shortly. However, it is both disappointing and unsurprising to see the type of language used in the statement. The personal attack and slurs are a clear sign of desperation that is reaching a crescendo in the Skerritt camp as a result of my candidacy.

The CWI election is pegged for Sunday, March 28 and is set to be a virtual occasion. On the other hand, the second shot at a GCB election for 2021, will come on Monday, March 29.
