Dear Madam Chair,
Our members and a plethora of other persons have been advocating that the process of the recount of the ballots of the last Elections be televised or put on line, so that the entire Guyanese population could have a close-up view of the entire proceedings.
In televising the counting process, the methodology used should be published in the print media and also from time to time during the broadcast media.
The advantages of such a full broadcast of the recounting process are: (i) It would involve the Guyana population in the Election process. (ii) It would achieve transparency (iii). It would eliminate the usual disagreements and acrimony in which the Election affairs have been enveloped over the last month. (iv) It would bring new hope to the Guyanese population and the international community, that Guyana is a democratic country working to strengthen democracy.
Accordingly, Madam Chairman, the GCA would like to respectfully and strongly advocate that you order the proceedings and process of the forthcoming Election re-count be put on live TV broadcast.
Yours respectfully,
Jainarine Deonauth
