The National COVID-19 Taskforce has rejected a request from the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) to approve additional workstations for the National Recount currently underway at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre (ACCC).
In a letter dated May 28 and signed by Dr. Colin James, coordinator of the Health Emergency Operating Centre (HEOC), the taskforce said that it “cannot concede to the request for the installation and operation of additional workstation and increase in the number of persons to be in the ACCC (Arthur Chung Conference Centre) during the period of Recount.”
The response comes more than a week after a request for an additional two stations was made by GECOM Chair, Justice (ret’d) Claudette Singh.
