…says recent discovery may just be the tip of the iceberg

THE Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has warned against the surfacing of fake identification cards, saying that the discover of a recent one in Berbice may just be the tip of the iceberg.

The discovery of the fake ID card was first reported by the People’s Progressive Party. In a statement on Friday, GECOM said “It has come to the attention of members of the Guyana Elections Commission that a “fake” Identification Card has surfaced in Region Six. The commissioners have conjectured that this may just be the “tip of the iceberg.”

The commission warned the public “that this may also just be the beginning of mischief that is afoot, a fifth column lurking and running about, biding its time to come forth.

Please, should any such misconduct come to your notice, as members of the public you have a civic duty to inform the nearest police station, as well as the GECOM Headquarters at 41 High Street, Kingston, Georgetown, or any of its offices countrywide for onward transmission to the investigating authorities.”
