GECOM employee charged with two counts of conspiracy to commit fraud

The Guyana Police Force (GPF) last evening read two charges of conspiracy to commit fraud against Sheffern February an employee of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM). These charges however did not materialize until after a protest from members of her community and a demand from one political party for an explanation of her prolonged detention.

February had been detained along with Carolyn Duncan, Michelle Miller, Enrique Livan and Returning Officer Clairmont Mingo as part of an investigation into alleged Electoral Fraud at the March 2 polls. She was detained on Wednesday

Following her detention the police publicly described the statutory officer as an “assistant” to Mingo. No such designation exists within the Commission.
