Eleven staffers at the Mackenzie Office of the Guyana Elections Commis-sion (GECOM), will now function in a comfortable environment, following the inauguration of a new $20M two-flat building on May 10 in Region 10.
According to the Depart-ment of Public Information, Chief Executive Officer of GECOM, Keith Lowenfield said that the provision of a state-of-the-art office in Region 10 was necessary, given the area’s vastness, which encompasses communities and villages bordering all three main rivers; Demerara, Berbice and Essequibo and seven other regions.
“That is no small area we talking about … We have to ensure all those persons who are 14 years and older, by a prescribed time, that they are registered,” the CEO stated.
