Gecom headquarters for expansion

The Guyana Elections Commission (Gecom) has plans to soon begin work to expand its Kingston, Georgetown headquarters to create a more comfortable working environment for staff, according to the entity’s Chairman Justice (retired) James Patterson.

During an interview with Stabroek News, Patterson expressed hope that by this time next year, the project will be completed.

“It will encompass what we needed to have done in the past…We would want to start in a matter of months rather than years,” he said, while stressing that there needs to be a “comfortable and desirable environment” for Gecom’s staff.
