Communications Special-ist, Kit Nascimento, has informed the Presidential Commission of Inquiry (CoI) into the March 2020 General and Regional Elections that he will not be able testify in the public hearings as he is a defendant in a related case before the court
Nascimento, who served as an Elections Observer on behalf of the Private Sector, was invited by the Commission to testify. Providing a reason for his unavailability, Nascimento cited the libel matter brought against him and several media houses by former President David Granger. He told Stabroek News that testifying in the CoI could compromise the court case depending on the kind of examination he will face when on the witness stand. Nascimento said he regrets not being able to voluntarily testify in the Inquiry as he believe the evidence he could have provided would have aided in the objectives of the CoI.
