UPDATE:

1. Meeting adjourned to tomorrow at 10:30 am.

2. No revised plan was supplied by Secretariat. One is expected before the meeting tomorrow.

3. A site visit to Arthur Chung Conference Centre is expected as soon as possible.

LEST WE FORGET...

It is the fraudulent acts of RO Mingo on 5th and 13th March, 2020 that has this process in such a mess.

Do you stand on the side of decency, transparency and justice OR do you condone rigged elections?

I trust you’ve recalled the reason for the upside down logo. Things not regular over there!!!

No final recount plan yet; GECOM to visit Conference Centre Wednesday

By Editor On Apr 14, 2020

The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) on Tuesday failed to agree on the plan for a national recount of votes cast on March 02, but a site visit to the recount venue – the Arthur Chung Conference Centre – Wednesday could move the process along, said Commissioner Sase Gunraj.

The Chief Elections Officer, Keith Lownfield had initially proposed a 156-day timeline for the process, but after further meetings of the Commission, he was expected to present a new plan on Tuesday. But Mr Lownfield and the Secretariat, which runs the elections, had clarifications on various issues.

“We thought we were clear and that those discussions would then translate into an amended document,” Commissioner Gunraj said after Tuesday’s meeting ended.

Commissioner Vincent Alexander said he thought all the issues were clarified. Alexander said he would “hope and pray” that there could be a plan Wednesday but said he wouldn’t put his head on a block.

The Chair of GECOM, Justice (rt’d) Claudette Singh, has written to the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) seeking to re-engage them to take up a leading role in the process.

The Court of Appeal had ruled that GECOM could not hand over its supervisory powers to an outside body, but Alexander said the re-engagement of CARICOM will see GECOM leading the process. Alexander was clear that the role of CARICOM would not be as just an observer.

While Alexander said while he believed the Secretariat sought the clarity it needed, he could not be sure that the Commissioners will further discuss issues which have already been decided on before a final plan is agreed on.

“I understand the frustration of the nation,” said Gunraj.

Gunraj has proposed the setting up of 20 workstations at the Conference Centre and at the site visit Wednesday he will seek to point out how that could happen using both inside and outside of the facility.

This is sheer bullshit, there has to be a way of holding these dam people in contempt. If Granger did win as some say, why the ass don't they try to prove it instead of placing roadblocks at each turn? Anyone with a bit of brain should know this, we would all have done the same if we were sure we won and get the dam thing over with.

No way did APNU win, their actions show they lost and just being friken bullies...clearly a PNC trait.

You would not care that the person who lost the election is sitting on the throne. Fraudulently? And that person is the reason thousands of sugar workers And their families are going without food.

Politics has lots to do with your concern, it affects what we eat, wear, do, how we move around, everything under the sun.

Just take the deaths in the US as an example, because of the wrong person in office who didnt care for anything nor anyone but himself, families are being destroyed.

Amral. People do care. The main topics of conversation are Covid 19 and the coalition trying to steal the elections. Everywhere I go, people want to discuss the election more so than the virus. Lots of people have it in for Volda over the quarantine conditions and the testing fiasco. Heck, lots of people standing around with their pals gaffing, no masks or social distance. It seems so surreal!

We have to care for our fellow human beings. Without them, the world will cease to be what it is now. We are our brothers' keepers.
