The hearing of the fraud cases stemming from the March 2020 general elections was further postponed yesterday to January 15 to ensure that the files are properly organised.
The charges were filed since June 2021 and have had hearings before several magistrates before being consolidated before Magistrate Leron Daly in the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.
At the previous hearing, Magistrate Daly had requested that the 24 case files brought before her be sorted by the prosecution before she proceeded with the matter. However, during yesterday’s proceedings the prosecution presented the 24 case files still not properly sorted, which made it difficult for the court to organize the documents and undertake its own record-keeping.
