Dear Editor,
It has been months since we cast our votes for both general and regional elections in Guyana. We find ourselves still questioning whether the Chair of GECOM, along with the Government commissioners, would allow democracy to prevail, as they are the ones who continue to stall the recount process.
It is clear as light that we won’t have the recount by May 2, 2020 (this is my opinion), given all the excuses so far. I know the world is suffering from COVID-19, and it affects us all in all forms.
I laughed when I saw that 33,000 masks would be needed for the recount, when a start date wasn’t even given! I saw in an article dated April 29, 2020 that businesses are willing to donate masks. Why hasn’t GECOM responded to them as yet?
Also, did the commissioners, in the meeting that took place on the 29th April 2020, change their masks regularly while in the meeting? There are so many questions, yet the answer is clear who won this election. It is clear who are still trying to hold onto power at whatever cost!
It is clear that a recount won’t happen by May 2nd 2020; therefore, I congratulate all Guyanese on the 2nd anniversary since we cast our votes for a new and competent Government.
Sincerely,
Katrina Niamatali
