Dear Editor,
I have been following very closely the events and, I dare say, sudden turns that have characterized our 2020 Elections.
It is my considered view that certain elements in the Coalition will, no matter how low they must go, give up office, having lost to the PPP/C.
I have, through social media, followed many of those who have been named public leaders of this unadulterated plan to undermine the voting process. From their social media posts, at least prior to their real intents becoming exposed, they have portrayed themselves as God-fearing and righteous persons. Some have posted their appearances in places of worship and in being engaged in charitable exercises. Their posts caused me to conclude that at least these people had some level of decency. But this, alas, was a mirage, and now, with their masks off, they have shown themselves to us all.
They have chosen to hold on to flimsy excuses while they seek to bully their way to stay in office. Clearly, their hearts are not with the people, but they appear to be concerned only with the power and perks of political office. These are people, as I said, who claimed to be men and women of high moral and religious values.
It is hard for me to imagine that people who went around the country and sought to convince Guyanese that they were “decent” and “honest” can do what I deem as vile and despicable things to our people and nation. I have to wonder what is the reason/s for their attitude. They must know that even the sands of the hourglass will, at one time or the other, run out.
What is their plan then? Is it to plunder and destroy the country? I ask: What will that achieve? It is all who will suffer, and it is they and their families who will have to live with such an ignominious stain.
I urge the cabal, you still have a little time: do what is right, do what is decent, do what is honest in the interest of all of Guyana’s children. Please, I urge.
Yours faithfully,
Liebert Alleyne
