Opposition-nominated commissioners of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) were not informed of any meeting to take place on Monday with diplomats from the United States, Britain, Canada and the European Union (EU), Commissioner Sase Gunraj has said.
“We were not aware of any request from western diplomats to meet with staff of GECOM on the elections process or preparedness for elections. We were not aware of GECOM’s acquiescence to meet with them, and we were not aware that a meeting actually took place. We read of the meeting in the newspapers,” Gunraj told Stabroek News yesterday.
He added that the meeting, which took place on Monday without the commissioners, or at least the opposition-nominated commissioners being informed was “reprehensible, to say the least.”
