Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission Dr. Steve Surujblly is calling on Guyanese to collect their new identification cards. Surujballi explains that January 2011 the old ID cards will be descended by GECOM, a constitutional move.

He also pointed out that the new cards are the only form of identification that will be accepted for the 2011 general elections.
GECOM has over 60,000 ID cards in their possession that persons have not collected, however there will be some 120 persons in mobile across the country to distribute ID cards.
 

The murder of former Guyana Power and Light security head Clifford Peters may be solved soon. Police have what they suspect is the gunman who shot Peters dead on May 4 last year. The alleged killer, according to police sources will be interrogated and forensic examinations carried out on him, before he is charged and placed before the court. While not saying much about the suspect, police are sure they have the right man in custody based on description and months of investigation into Peters killing.

Government Senator David Abdulah says he does not expect any fall out following his decision to join public officers in their protest yesterday.
Abdulah, who is also the president of the Federation of Independent Trade Unions and Non-Government Organisation (FITUN), joined fellow labour leaders in a show of support yesterday in a protest orchestrated by the Public Services Association (PSA).
