The Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) in its ruling Wednesday gave very clear direction on the lawful route the country’s Chief Elections Officer should take and possibly escape criminal charges against him for falsifying an elections report.
On June 16, Lowenfield was told to prepare a report based on the results of the national vote recount and to determine the number of Parliamentary seats for each party.
But he failed to do that when he presented a report on June 23 that was based on his own figures. The CCJ has now discarded his June 23 report and so the status quo reverts to the instructions he was given on June 16.
“It is for GECOM to ensure the CEO submits a report in accordance with its direction of June 16 in order to proceed along the path directed by the laws of Guyana,” President of the CCJ Justice Adrian Saunders stated in delivering the judgement of the Court.
So the CCJ was clear that to follow the law, Lowenfield must comply with the direction he was given.
The Court had urged that this be done without delay.
“It is for GECOM to ensure that the election results are swiftly declared in accordance with the Laws of Guyana,” Justice Saunders stated.
Lowenfield faces three private criminal charges of fraud related to the results of the elections.
GECOM is expected to meet at 1 p.m. on Friday. It is unclear if the CEO will then be asked to present a new report in compliance with the law or whether he would be asked to do so before.
This guy is a crook that fixed the election for his buddy Granger against all the correct results. Democracy in Guyana is in taters as dictator Granger could take over as he had for one year and another 100 illegally. The USA Europe England Canada and the caricom have to be worried that a loser trying to take over power when he lost like all dictators they are master of this.
What the CCJ told him to do is very clear.
What he will do is go over to Congress Place and listen to the Ole Sawacko convince him to to keep up the rig “because we PNC own Guyana”. He should get it in writing that the Ole Sawacko will do his jail time for him.
On the other hand he is a paid monthly employee, nothing more, nothing less. The Chairperson is the one that has to understand the CCJ ruling and she had 22 hours before todays meeting to read it.
