Having observed the varying perspectives put forward by the political parties as to what the National Recount exercise entails the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has the responsibility to ensure the society is knowledgeable of events as they unfold.
GECOM has a responsibility to put the information out, repeat same whenever necessary, and let the public discern whose truth is consistent with the agency’s.
GECOM is the sole arbiter in this process, not the PPP, not the APNU+AFC, not any other party but GECOM.
Where the parties are saying something different and their supporters are likely to believe what they say GECOM has a responsibility to remind the nation of the truth.
It is GECOM that shoulders primary responsibility to reiterate the laws governing this exercise and what the Order entails.
