After “mayhem” erupted at the GECOM Command Centre at the Ashmins building days after the 2 March, 2020 elections, former Commissioner of Police Leslie James said he deployed additional security to the building but his plan was foiled with the then Police Commander of Region Four, Edgar Thomas being unreachable.
“After viewing a footage…….I tried making contact with the Commander because what I was seeing was clearly disorder and I can also refer to it as mayhem, which was contrary to what was expected to be happening at that GECOM location,” James told the Presidential Commission of Inquiry (CoI) in the March 2, 2020 elections yesterday morning.
James testified before the CoI under a summons which was issued on Tuesday. Public hearings into the inquiry recommenced yesterday following a break for the holiday season.
