PNCR dismisses gov’t $100M allegation

The PNCR has rejected charges by the government that it could not account for $100M intended to pay its scrutineers.

In a press release issued on Thursday, the Government Information Agency (GINA) reported that Head of the Presidential Secretariat Dr Roger Luncheon was concerned that the $100 million, which it said the PNCR received as a result of the Guyana Elections Commis-sion (Gecom) registration exercise to pay scrutineers had not been accounted for.

According to GINA, Luncheon also said that there was information available to government that the opposition scrutineers were being used to agitate against the government to protest.
