A Dominican man, who said he thought he automatically gained Guyanese citizenship by being the father of a Guyanese child, was yesterday fined and deported after he admitted to overstaying in Guyana.
The charge against Eric Gaunte alleged that between January 5th and February 24th, at Georgetown, he failed to comply with conditions of his stay, that is, that while being permitted to stay in Guyana from December 5th to January 5th, he overstayed.
