Following a series of complaints, the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) yesterday attempted to improve the accommodation for media operatives stationed outside the Arthur Chung Convention Centre (ACCC) for the National Recount Exercise.
These attempts were however marred when several persons who appear to be supporters of the incumbent APNU+AFC coalition verbally accosted several reporters who were attempting to use the washroom facilities at the National Aquatic Centre (NAC).
On Wednesday media operatives who had been promised an appropriate space from which to operate arrived at the ACCC arrived to find that tents for their use had been erected amid high grass. The area did not include any furniture, washroom facilities nor electricity.
