‘I have not acted unlawfully’

Roxanne Myers

Deputy Chief Election Officer (DCEO) Roxanne Myers has challenged those members of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) requesting her dismissal to provide proof that she failed to appropriately execute her duties during the 2020 General and Regional Elections or in any way participated in alleged attempts to falsify the results. 

“The reliance on conjecture, innuendo and unsubstantiated allegation cannot be deployed as a substitute for the requirements of proof and independent evidence… I have not acted unlawfully in the discharge of my duties and statutory functions. None of my contractual obligations were breached,” Myers writes in her response to Commission Chair Justice (ret’d) Claudette Singh. 

The response, seen by Sunday Stabroek, is dated June 15 and was submitted following a June 1 request from Singh that Myers show cause why she should not be dismissed.
