David Granger, your character still matters

Dear Editor,
Please permit me to ask my fellow Guyanese, with the present election crisis, the corona pandemic crisis and the many complications, what should we say to our children and youth at home trying to process all this information unfolding daily.
I believe we must tell our children the truth with confidence. Tell them what we know – true facts and acknowledge what we don’t know, not with fear, but with caution. For what we say here will remain with them for a lifetime. We can defend against the unknown with the known.
Here we are again, District Four Returning Officer Clairmont Mingo is once more implicated in yet another attempt to cause mischief in Guyana’s election recount. Mingo and Chief Elections Officer Keith Lowenfield are fingered in the missing documents saga.
These missing documents have been noted during the national vote recount and are likely in the possession of Mingo or Lowenfield as “pawnshop” while the coalition APNU/AFC began peddling a new narrative to say that the votes from those boxes with the missing documents cannot be validated, which was noted and written on some of the observation reports during the recount.
The move at this stage of the recount is evident that GECOM is taking instructions from the APNU/AFC gangsters in an attempt to cause malicious mischief as we approach the conclusion of the recount.
As a result, the Statements of Recount from those boxes that have been tabulated but highlighted while the boxes that have not been tabulated is put aside awaiting on the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) to decide what will happen next, this is preposterous, why is this now being done in the PPP/C stronghold area?
This is a desperate effort to remove valid votes from the PPP/C, however, in the APNU/AFC stronghold area, there are boxes with missing documents still being tabulated, this is a deliberate attempt by the GECOM Secretariat headed by Chief Elections officer CEO Keith Lowenfield to disenfranchise PPP/C electors using one of their planned deceptions.
However, it’s expected that the large block of voters cannot be disenfranchised since all the ballots are stamped as being validly issued and the Statement of Recount match the Statements of Poll issued on elections night which all party agents would have signed. Mr Lowenfield, all valid votes must be counted.
One will remember in March, Mingo was caught red-handed fraudulently inflating the number of votes for the coalition during the tabulation, which was exposed by stakeholders who were in possession of the Statements of Poll (SoPs) from the 897 Polling Stations in District Four, GECOM and the APNU/AFC. Mr Clairmont Mingo must be held accountable for all the blatant deceitful acts
In another twist of events surrounding the March 2, 2020 General and Regional Elections, a senior member of the APNU/AFC is now accusing his own party’s agents of a grand conspiracy to oust the party from office. A senior member and former MP of the David Granger-led caretaker Government accused the APNU/AFC agents of “criminal collusion”. James Bond allegedly said “those agents, so-called agents, that persons are saying belong to APNU/AFC who were in those places when these things happened, shame on you. If you were there at all, shame on you. Shame on you.”
Can you believe this is a representative in Parliament, representing the people of Guyana under the APNU/AFC? These actions and challenges contributed to the failure of the APNU/AFC Administration. Regrettably, the APNU-led coalition has not been consistent with their stand.
They have shifted their position from APNU/AFC claiming victory, to election not credible.
Before the recount began, the APNU-led coalition had been maintaining that it won the elections but that was based on declarations which include the fraudulent District Four tabulation produced by Returning Officer Clairmont Mingo. The media has so far proven, using verifiable data, that Mingo manipulated the District Four tabulation to favour the David Granger-led APNU/AFC coalition.
However, what we are now seeing, the APNU/AFC, more so the PNCR leaders, have embarked on a campaign to discredit the March 2 polls after previously claiming victory, with their leader David Granger. He even attended a victory party after the first fraudulent declaration by District Four Returning Officer Clairmont.
Editor, I said it in one of my previous letters “it leaves me to wonder if David Granger is either suffering from dissociative amnesia or if it is selective amnesia” David Granger on numerous occasions has been given the opportunity to come clean with the people of Guyana and the international community, more so Caricom and David Granger continues to give us all he the impression that he supports free and fair elections, however, his actions do not.
Mr Granger, you claim to be a “man of God”, then you must stop hiding behind your evil cabals. God always reveals the truth and the truth before us is that the People’s Progressive Party/Civic has won the March 2 General and Regional Elections.
David Granger, your character still matters. If you don’t have integrity, you have nothing. When you fall don’t blame someone else for tripping you!
You must come clean with the people of Guyana. Your character has already been allegedly described in Caribbean political circles as a “gangster” based on your present actions. Many around the Caribbean are prepared to predict that David Granger will not accept the results of the elections.
As a Guyanese, I ask you to honour the rule of law. Guyanese don’t need any fomenting of civil strife. As a member of Caricom, what happens in Guyana directly impinges on the Caribbean region in general.
Guyana is bound by the Caricom Treaty and the Charter of Civil Society. Under no circumstances should Caricom tolerate violations of democracy, the rule of law and political and civil rights. The APNU/AFC caretaker must be encouraged to relinquish the caretaker power and legally transfer power to the newly elected People’s Progressive Party/Civic Government.
Finally, GECOM must release the true SoPs along with SoRs to remove doubts and justify the true winners to the Guyanese citizen. There will be a healing period for many but one must not fall prey to false information and propaganda.
We have all made the correct choice, the PPP/C has a proven economic track record, every Guyanese has an opportunity to shape their future under the People’s Progressive Party/Civic’s vision and plan for prosperity in Guyana.
Our beautiful Guyana will be an economic force for our Caribbean regions to reckon with in the future. Let’s come together as one people, one nation, one destiny and channel our energies positively and transform Guyana.

Sincerely,
David Adams
