Is Parliament above the Constitution?

Dear Editor, With regard to your letters on the meaning of the word ‘shall’ in the Constitution, please note the Constitution of Guyana states:

“212 A There shall be an Ethnic Relations Commission”.

Three, three- year terms have passed without a properly constituted Board of Commissioners (2007-2016) ‒ 9 years. Is Parliament disregarding its responsibility or is it above the dictates of the Constitution? Yours faithfully, L J P Willems
