May 19, 2020 Dem Boys Seh, Features / Columnists 0 , Source - Kaieteur News Online - https://www.kaieteurnewsonline...-home-wrong-husband/

Deh had a girl who was tekkin’ a driving test. The instructor asked her: “You are driving and suddenly an old man and a young kid appear in your path. Who yuh gun hit?”
The girl thought long and hard about it and said: “I mean the kid has his whole life ahead of him. So I guess I would hit the old man.” The instructor tun to she and seh: “You failed. The correct answer is that you should hit the brakes.”

Sometimes, the obvious is not always obvious. Take GEE-CUM. Dem add two new counting stations but instead of placing the additional stations to count District 4 votes which accounting for 40% of the total ballots, dem putting dem to count District 6 and District 7. Dem boys smell something. District 4 is the biggest one and de one that cause all de problems we seeing now.

Was just like de time when one boy was part of de con-funk-shun during the Mingo-Bingo saga. Dem boys now hear how GEE-CUM promote the boy and put he fuh supervise one of de counting station. Dem boys nah know whether to laugh or cry.

Some people does mek mistake during this COVID-19 pandemic. Wha cause dem boy fuh laugh was the story bout the woman and she husband who went to de supermarket. When she guh home and dem tek off dem masks, she see dat she bring home the wrong husband.

But face masks is not all dat bad. Yesterday, dem boys pass a man who dem boys owe money. He did not recognize dem boys.

Talk half and leh we hope that the recount done before we stop wearing masks.

Otherwise we might end swearing-in Soulja Bai fuh Air-Fan.

Region Two recount completed – Controversial IT Technician Promoted to Recount Supervisor

Yesterday, on the 13th day of the National Recount exercise, the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) managed to complete the recount of 54 ballot boxes, raising the total to 642 ballot boxes.

The recount notable saw the completion of all 135 boxes in Region Two, the second regional recount to be recounted after Region One was concluded on Friday, with the certification of the results was completed on Sunday.

Yesterday saw the beginning of the counting of boxes from Region 6, with the count for Region 7 anticipated to commence today.

GECOM’s Public Relations Officer (PRO), Yolanda Ward announced last evening that the 54 boxes counted yesterday included nine ballot boxes counted for Region 2; 17 for Region 3; 13 for Region 4’ and 12 for Region 5; and three for Region 6.

She went on to say that 608 ballot boxes have been tabulated for the General Elections, while 609 were completed for the regional elections.

Additionally, Ward disclosed that the Commission, during a meeting conducted yesterday, spoke about the allegations of deceased and migrant people voting, which are allegations that are being made by the incumbent APNU+ AFC. However, no decisions have yet been made on how to address the aforementioned issues, she noted.

On the other hand, two additional workstations were approved by the National COVID-19 Task Force (NCTF), yesterday, with the aim of ramping up the pace of the recount— one station to Region 6 and the other to 7.

Meanwhile, GECOM has promoted to recount supervisor an IT technician, Enrique Livan, who was involved in the controversial removal of a flash drive at the Ashmin’s Building, the then site office of the Region Four Returning Officer, during the initial tabulation process after the March 2 General and Regional Elections. According to Ward, Livan’s elevation occurred after a GECOM staffer left for Moruca, Region One for a period of seven days and, with the aim of alleviating and continuing work, Livan was promoted.

The appointment of Livan, who has been promoted to supervisor at Workstation 10, has prompted the People’s Progressive Party/ Civic (PPP/C) to write a damning letter to the Chair of GECOM.

In the letter, the PPP/C claimed that since Livan’s promotion there has been a “deliberate sloth in the counting of Region 4 ballots”. Against this backdrop, the party appealed for the additional workstations to be allocated to Region Four instead of Regions Six and Seven.
