The erection of security barriers around the Guyana Elections Commission’s (GECOM) Office of the Returning Officer for Region Four at High and Hadfield streets, Georgetown, has resulted in businesses in the vicinity being unable to operate as normal.

Business owners there have said that since last Wednesday, they have not been able to operate as normal and one store, Silvie’s Industrial Solutions, said that their operations had to be closed entirely.

Yesterday morning, when workers arrived at the location, police ranks informed them that they are not allowed to open the store. After several pleas, they were allowed enter the building but not open to the public.
