49 ballot boxes and the Presiding Officers

Dear Editor,

An enquiry must be done to find out why Presiding Officers did not place certain documents in 49 East Coast ballot boxes.
Some Presiding Officers under whose responsibility 49 East Coast ballot boxes fell under, claimed they were ordered by Returning Officer Clairmont Mingo not to include certain documents when sealing the ballot boxes.

Others are claiming they did this on their own and not under Mingo’s direction. These documents should normally be placed in the boxes as they were trained to do in their training programmes.
The ones who claim they did this on their own should be disciplined or charged and an enquiry should be done on the others. If Mingo did order those documents not to be placed in the boxes, then he should be charged therefore.
