GECOM meeting on US elections project aborted

A meeting between the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) and the International Republican Institute (IRI) to discuss a US-funded electoral reform project was aborted after Opposition-nominated commissioners objected to the manner in which the project was introduced to the Commission.

“The opposition-appointed commissioners raised the question about IRI being engaged in such an exercise without the Government advising GECOM that this was what was happening or without the Parliament…having advised that it has given the go ahead for such a project by IRI,” Commissioner Vincent Alexander told reporters following the aborted meeting.

Guyana is cursed, or should I say blessed with confusionists of every hue and colour. The country is also fortified with sheer stupid nonsense to such an extent that even commenting on events in Guyana will seem to be stupid nonsense. Lol.

Some people don't want the implications of any electoral reform, so they will be standing in the way to block any and all efforts going forward. Like the saying goes, "Why cut your nose to spoil your face"
