Clairmont Mingo, GECOM’s District Four Returning Officer and two other elections workers were yesterday granted bail at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court on indictable charges of fraud surrounding the controversial March 2nd general elections.
Mingo was arraigned before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan where he was charged with four counts of intentionally misconducting himself in public office by failing to disclose the numbers that were counted for the contesting parties. Mingo had been accused during the elections of reading fraudulent numbers from a spreadsheet.
He was not required to plead to the indictable charge and was granted bail of $150,000 on each of the four charges.
