Motions against GECOM trio amended to cater for termination of contracts

Keith Lowenfield

Motions for the dismissal of three key GECOM employees have now been amended to allow for the termination of their contracts.

Yesterday’s meeting of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) was adjourned without a decision on the nearly two-month-old motions for dismissal tabled against Chief Election Officer (CEO) Keith Lowenfield, Deputy Chief Election Officer (DCEO) Roxanne Myers and District Four Returning Officer Clarimonte Mingo.

The meeting ended after two government-nominated commissioners Sase Gunraj and Manoj Narayan had to leave to participate in a meeting of the CARICOM Elections observer mission to St Lucia. Their absence meant there was no longer a quorum.
