The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) Employee at the center of the Laptop/Flash Drive scandal emanating from the 2020 General and Regional Elections remained silent this morning as he was summoned to testify before the ongoing electoral probe.
GECOM Employee Enrique Livan, through his attorney Eusi Anderson, opted not to give evidence before the Commission. Anderson told the Commission that Livan was simultaneously making a virtual appearance before Chief Magistrate Ann McLeanan at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.
Anderson said that Livan was excused by the Chief Magistrate to respond to a summons from the Commission. He noted that his client is also involved in court proceedings that alleged that he was part of a plot to rig the 2020 Elections.
The Attorney submitted that his client prefers not to incriminate himself by testifying before the commission. Livan then took the stand, and exercised his right to remain silent. Commissioner Justice Carl Singh said, “This commission has evidence before it in which you have been identified at certain events which unfolded on March 5, so I ask that you bear that in mind when making your decision.”
Last week, former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) Keith Lowenfield and former Returning Officer for District Four, Clairmont Mingo opted not to testify as well.
Mingo and Lowenfield were represented by Attorney-at-law Nigel Hughes, who told the commission that the men are currently before the court facing charges in relation to the 2020 Elections.
Former Commander Azore took a similar position to that of Lowenfield and Mingo.
