Opposition nominated Commissioners have raised objections at GECOM’s administration creation of a new position on the agency’s organogram and internal hire. Citing an overload in work at the agency, the commission was informed that a temporary position of Logistics Coordinator was created.
Commissioner Vincent Alexander in a recent interview told Stabroek News with fellow opposition Commissioners on his side of the table felt that the Commission should have dealt with first the applicants seeking to fill the position as Deputy Chief Elections Officer. Alexander said while the position as Logistics Coordinator is being viewed as a junior post, in their view, judging from its Terms of Reference, it fulfills the duties of the Deputy Chief Elections Officer. However, the post is yet to be filled.
