GECOM CEO’s report stopped by notice of motion

The Chief Elections Officer of the Guyana Elections (GECOM), Keith Lowenfield is yet to submit his report to the Commission after ‘a notice of motion’ was filed to preventing him from doing so.

GECOM’S Public Relation’s Officer, Yolanda Ward has just informed that “A Notice of Motion was filed in the Court of Appeal and served on the Chairperson and CEO. The Notice was severed on the CEO before 13:00hrs (deadline for submission of report). The Notice restraints the CEO from ‘complying with the directions of Chairperson’ and as a consequence a report was not submitted.”

Lowenfield was expected to hand over his report to the GECOM Chair, Ret’d Justice Claudette Singh at 1pm today however that was not done. The Commission will meet as planned and the decisions on the outcome would be communicated immediately.
