Police block Marshalls from serving court orders.
Despite repeated efforts, High Court Marshalls could not locate Mingo, Chief Elections Officer Keith Lowenfield and GECOM Chairman, Retired Justice Claudette Singh to serve them the orders. Only the six commissioners were served.
@ Dave ...
My understanding is that the needed court orders were served yesterday - March 06, 2020 --- perhaps those were totally different issues.
Also, it is highly inappropriate for police officers to hinder/block legitimate personnel to serve court orders.
Interesting to see as issues develop.
@ DG, the picture was taken Thursday as they tried to serve them . Agree with you on the needed ones served
But read this report today from Demerara waves.

The hearing into the application filed in the High Court to determine whether blocking the swearing in of President David Granger over the unverified Region Four elections results is lawful, has been scheduled to resume at 13:30 hours today.
The hearing commence this morning before Chief Justice Roxane George in the Georgetown High Court.
Attorney at Law, Neil Boston S.C, who is representing the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) in the matter, requested time to study the affidavits in relation to the challenge presented by the Opposition, Peopleâs Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/Câ)s legal team led by Trinidad-based Senior Counsel, Douglas Mendes.
Mendes, who was present in Court this morning, told the Chief Justice Roxane George that his team was only able to file and serve one of four affidavits to parties representing the other side. He also said that team would need time to file the three additional affidavits. Taking the factors into consideration, the Chief Justice granted time for the parties to file and serve the supplementary affidavits.
The Chief Justice also gave a commitment that she will try to work assiduously to address the matter as âthe nation is waiting.â
Justice George appealed for the cooperation of both the legal teams to have the matter hashed out as soon as possible.

DG...that's old news...
@ Dave and Ray ..... ** Laughing here ***
I usually get up much later on weekends and catching up quickly on issues in Guyana.
It is about 12:15 here.
I don't know how this will turn out. I'm sure the Brooklyners and their allies the Democratic Party are working a way around the Guyana constitution.
@Former Member dat loud mout lameta TK lass year seh those who control de military can bend and twiss dem own constitution of dem lord Burnham (and coolie crabdaag Shahab) constitution. Dem gat real powah. Dem mek de constitution and dem cyan bruck and bend it up when dem want. Why? Because dem control de military and de public sector.

Dem try in 2015 but dem bais give dem de marchin order...hey hey hey. Now dat is what yuh call Guyana blackman privilage. Hey hey hey...dem one lovers...hey hey hey.
I am glad that Justice George is hearing this case. Hopefully she is still fair.
My uncle just told me she is a canje gurl, so let we hope she wrap up before six a clack.
Trini lawyer sound sharp.
Mendes is very articulate. He crushed Williams fools at the CCJ trial

MESSAGE FROM THE ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOP OF GEORGETOWN ON THE CURRENT SITUATION IN GUYANA.
People are dying, people are being wounded, children are being traumatized, property is being destroyed, the nation is gripped in fear. This is much too high a cost for a national election and for a nation at any time. There are no words strong enough to express the gravity of the situation and the urgency for it to end.
To all accounts the way forward for the restoration of peace and hope rests with a small group of persons who have been tasked with managing the whole election process.
I add my voice to the many others in making strong appeal to the Guyana Elections Commission to expeditiously complete the verification process towards the transparent, formal and lawful declaration of results.
Meanwhile, let us keep our heads above the fray and not let the words of our national pledge fall empty â âĶ to be loyal to my country, to be obedient to the laws of Guyana, to love my fellow citizens and to dedicate my energies towards the happiness and prosperity of Guyanaâ. This is something that we can all do.
May God Bless Guyana.
Francis Alleyne OSB
Bishop of Georgetown

See full statement from French Ambassador to Guyana, Antoine Joly:
France wishes to express its deep concern at the situation in Guyana after the elections which had taken place in good conditions until the results of region 4 were announced without completing the tabulation.
It calls, on behalf of excellent bilateral relations, for a spirit of conciliation and a sense of general interest in favor of all Guyanese.
It supports the unanimous request of the electoral observation missions, including EU, which request a resumption of the counting process verified from the statements of polling.
France warns against any hasty initiative aiming for the president to be sworn in until this verified count has been completed.
Only this procedure will ensure a legitimate, democratically acceptable process and avoid the clashes which unfortunately have already started in different places in Guyana.
