GECOM seems reluctant to discipline the attempted riggers

Dear Editor,
No self-respecting chairperson of GECOM, one who is worth their salt, can rationally justify their inaction and reluctance to discipline the culpable staff who were blatantly and barefacedly attempting to rig the 2020 elections, when nearly four months are about to elapse since that incident. What is even more amazing is that those culprits are still on the job.
The criterion for the Chairperson of GECOM to be a judge or have judge-like qualities is pure balderdash. What we need in the chairperson is a person who is ethical, impartial, and has a demonstrative background of decisive leadership ability, coupled with the skills to conceptualise and oversee fair and free elections.
The timidity of the present chairperson has been publicly demonstrated throughout the gruelling five months when the attempted riggers were in full flow. If Madam Chairperson had intervened in a timely and decisive manner, we would not have been suffering a lot of the heartaches
It is time for Madam Chair to stop warming the chair and start the disciplinary procedure against the band of riggers. They have flouted and breached a host of the organisational procedures, such as the inability to produce the original statements of poll for Region 4; deliberately falsified Region 4’s statements of polls on a fabricated spreadsheet; senior functionaries publicly endorsed the falsified spreadsheet; refused not once, but twice, to follow instructions from a superior officer; declared results inconsistent with the recount etc.
There is that clause in every employment contract that says, “We have lost confidence in your ability to perform your functions to the standard of the organisation”. It is time to put that clause into effect.
Madam Chairperson needs to overcome her reluctance and embark on disciplining the coterie of riggers, replace them with competent and professional people, and prepare for the Local Government Elections due next year. To act in less a manner is tantamount to a dereliction of duty on her part. Time to once more step up to the plate, Madam Chair. Time to clean the house.

Yours sincerely,
Reggie Bhagwandin
