With a delay in the results for this year’s General elections, the city of Georgetown, like
other areas, continued to be void of crowds; this time even transportation being unavailable for hours.
The Stabroek Market Square at 14:30 hrs yesterday saw many businesses closed; no buses on the park, and not even taxis.
A few market vendors, who were seen closing their stalls, complained of not getting any sales due to the election period. One vendor noted, “It’s because of election people scared to come out and shop”.
Another added, “Sales dead, dead, dead”.
Firemen were seen standing in front of the fire station “just preparing to make a move.” According to one reliable source, the fire fighters were asked to stay in front of the station in case of any unusual event.
When this publication made contact with one of the firemen, he responded “we were asked not to speak to any reporters”.
Many workers did not show up to work yesterday apparently scared of ‘rioting’. Even school children across the nation stayed away from school.
Pres. Ali begging for loans!!
