The Government is not the only player in this game that it can change the law or rules to have advantage over the other parties: Former Chairman Senate, ​Mian Raza Rabbani 

Karachi, February 22, 2022 (PPI-OT):​Mian Raza Rabbani, Former Chairman Senate, has issued the following press statement:

The Ordinance amending the Election Act, allowing public office holders including Minister to take part in the campaign amounts to pre poll rigging and is rejected. Any amendment in the election law or rules requires that all the stakeholders i.e. the political parties and the ECP be consulted and a consensus developed. The Government is not the only player in this game that it can change the law or rules to have advantage over the other parties.

The new section 181 (A) inserted in the Election Act, allows a member of Parliament, provincial assembly, local government, including a member holding any other office under the Constitution or the law, can visit or address public meetings in any area or constituency. This amendment will allow government functionaries to visit and influence the campaign of government candidates to the disadvantage of the others.

The code of conduct is framed by the ECP under section 233 of the Election Act, the temporary legislation, an Ordinance promulgated in the darkness of the night, infringes on the powers of the ECP. The Constitution through Article 222, places a bar on Parliamentary from passing a law that has the effect of taking away or abridging the powers of the ECP.

Through an Executive action, promulgation of an Ordinance, fetters are being placed on the ECP. The government should withdraw both the Ordinances, namely, amendments to Peca and the Election Act, otherwise the Opposition should bring Disapproval Resolutions in Parliament under Article 89, Constitution, 1973.

Match Officials for League Stage announced 

Dubai, February 22, 2022 (PPI-OT):Eight women feature in a team of 15 Match Officials named for the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2022, which is to be played across six venues in New Zealand from 4 March to 3 April.

The International Cricket Council’s commitment to support women officials reflects in the appointments with several making their ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup debuts starting with the tournament opener between the West Indies and hosts New Zealand at the Bay Oval in Tauranga.

Former South Africa player Shandre Fritz, who featured in the 2005, 2009 and 2013 World Cups, will be the Match Referee in a Women’s World Cup match for the first time in the opener, as will her compatriot Lauren Agenbag, the first woman from her country to umpire a T20I International.

Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid (on-field), Alex Wharf (third umpire) and Sue Redfern (fourth umpire) will be the other officials for the match.

Apart from Agenbeg, Fritz and Redfern, the other women officiating in the tournament are Match Referee GS Lakshmi and Umpires Kim Cotton, Claire Polosak, Eloise Sheridan and Jacqueline Williams.

Adrian Griffith, ICC Senior Manager – Umpires and Referees, said the appointments were part of ICC’s policy of nurturing the best available talent in different countries.

Adrian Griffith: “We are proud to announce eight women Match Officials in our team for the tournament. We had six women Match Officials at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in 2020 and the steady upward path is as per our plans and keeping with our long-term vision.

“But while we have been continuously increasing the number of women officials, there have been no concessions and all of them deserve to be there. The appointments are based on merit, and they have made it to the top level because of their skill and perseverance.

“It is good to have a good mix of experience and it is heartening to note the number of firsts for women officials in recent years. I wish all the Match Officials the very best and am confident that we will have fine adjudication during the tournament.”

Lakshmi, who was the first woman to be named in the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees in 2019, will make her Women’s World Cup debut in the second match of the eight-team tournament while Polosak, Redfern and Williams, all pathbreakers too, will stand in their second Women’s World Cups.

Polosak was the first woman to stand in a Men’s ODI, Redfern the first to have both played and stood in the Women’s World Cup, while Williams was the first woman to officiate as the Third Umpire in a men’s ODI.

Paul Wilson, Langton Rusere, Ahmad Shah Pakteen and Ruchira Palliyaguruge are other experienced officials in the tournament while two New Zealanders – Umpire Kim Cotton and Match Referee Gary Baxter – also feature in the list of three Match Referees and 12 Umpires.

Match Referees: Gary Baxter, GS Lakshmi, Shandre Fritz.

Umpires: Lauren Agenbag, Kim Cotton, Ahmad Shah Pakteen, Ruchira Palliyaguruge, Claire Polosak, Suzanne Redfern, Langton Rusere, Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid, Eloise Sheridan, Alexander Wharf, Jacqueline Williams, Paul Wilson.

The postings for the semi-finals will be announced at the end of the round-robin stage while those for the final will be made after the semi-finals.
