In response to summonses, three members of the PNCR, two of them currently facing elections-related charges, yesterday declined to testify before the ongoing Presidential Commission of Inquiry (CoI) into the March 2, 2020 elections on the grounds of avoiding self-incrimination.
Volda Lawrence, Karen Cummings and Carol Joseph took the witness stand and declared their decision under oath.
Seven persons have now made the decision to remain silent when they appeared before the CoI. The four other persons are Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) employees who are before the court on elections fraud charges.
