Georgetown, Guyana – September 25, 2025 – A Parfaite Harmonie man accused of swiping over $5 million in cash from the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has been remanded to prison.
The accused, 40-year-old Dikimbie Gittens, an Assistant Accountant of Onderneeming, West Bank Demerara, appeared today before Magistrate Fabayo Azore at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court. He was charged with Larceny by Clerk or Servant: Contrary to Section 184 of the Criminal Law (Offences) Act, Chapter 8:01.
