A case for treason

Dear Editor,
There is irrefutable evidence that the March 2, Guyana Elections has been infected with deliberate miscounting and crooked GECOM officials. It is déjà vu time but with a severe difference: All the Observer Missions, including the Carter Center, have deemed the Region Four count fraudulent and unacceptable for the final declaration of the winner. The Commonwealth Secretary General, Patricia Scotland in a separate statement warned that the failure to conclude the Region Four count in accordance with the Chief Justice’s ruling on Wednesday, March 4, would constitute a serious violation of the values of the body. Above all, the US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, has pronounced that the swearing-in of an illegal Govt would result in catastrophic consequences!
GECOM officials are grappling with English (last year math became a bizarre, comical dilemma, whether 33 was a greater number than 32) in carrying out the instructions of the Chief Justice that the Region Four final count must be conducted using the Statements of Poll. However, a most crude, arrogant method was perpetrated upon the populace; RO Clairmont Mingo’s (pre-prepared) tainted spreadsheet was used to highlight the ‘results’ on a tainted bedsheet. This man has made two declarations that the incumbent is the victor against the backdrop of judicial instructions! The overriding question is: does President Granger want an accurate vote count or is he stalling for the Caricom high-level counting team to congratulate him on his second term? In my view, starting with the No-Confidence issue and the year-long protracted court antics by his lawyers, the period that Mr Granger held on to the presidency, a clear pattern emerges: he has no intention of handing over power.
Moving Pandora’s boxes from High Street to Kingston to Arthur Chung Convention Centre will not change the contents; fumigation will have no impact as well. The whole objective of APNU/AFC headhunters, with abundant evidence of directives from higher echelons, is to obfuscate any recounting and will continue to throw stumbling blocks that render the result (which are already known) in favour of the PPP. Even the PM of Barbados, Ms Mottley, has indicated the symbiotic relationship between Congress Place and GECOM. There is one pertinent question: If an attempt to overthrow a Govt is considered treason; why, therefore, the refusal to install a legally elected President cannot be considered an offence of similar magnitude?
Look out for more writs, summons, and injunctions before any box is opened – if ever they are opened.

Sincerely,
Leyland Chitlall
