…for some logic
Well, we have a weekend to contemplate not just our navels, but also our fates – which, in the end, is what the former seeks to shed light on the latter, no?? Anyhow, once again, your Eyewitness will spare you all the citations from the Constitution, the Representation of the People’s Act, the Recount Order, and all the other “subsidiary” legislation we hear about. His eyes glaze over by now whenever these come up, and he’s pretty sure you, dear reader, have the same reaction.
But really, we know by now that what’s going down has nothing to do with the law, don’t we?? The PNC would like us to believe that everyone who feels he/she has a grievance over being “wronged” must have their day in court. And, of course, we’ll all agree with that. But, really, what’s the PNC’s present grievance? That Mingo’s numbers aren’t being used, as is proposed by Lowenfield, for the Chair to declare the winner of the elections??
Now hold it!! Didn’t that matter already have its day in court?? In fact, the same court that’s hearing the present matter?? And it decided that Mingo was “cocking” the works like a three-card-hustler to ensure “the more you look the less you see”, in order to give the PNC a win? The subsequent recount confirmed it was such a big horning that it left even the international community gasping. And they began calling for sanctions and such like.
So, no matter how you twist it or turn it; no matter which law or Article is cited, can anyone in their right mind really believe we should use those “cocked” numbers to decide who’ll govern Guyana for the next five years?? Really?? Some supporters of the PNC are raising the question as to whether we should “allow” the PPP to return to office. That they committed so many atrocities during their 23 years, in effect they should be banned from running for elections. Are we serious?
The PNC had five years, during which they deployed SARU, SOCU, the Police Force, the Integrity Commission, and so many other institutions – after conducting 50-odd “forensic audits” – to nail the PPP with their accusations. Did they prove even one??
Another line the PNC partisans are taking is that both the PPP and PNC have been fiddling with elections over the past 60 years. So, if they’re right, doesn’t that mean the PNC won the 2015 elections because of their rigging??
So why are these worthies only bringing up these objections in this 2020 elections?? Isn’t sauce for the goose also sauce for the gander?? Or two thief man mek God laugh!!
…for our social cohesion
As the Chief Justice conducted the oral hearings via Zoom over social media, your Eyewitness saw a huge crowd of PNC supporters thronging the High Court. Did they really think all the lawyers making their presentations were in the building with the Chief Justice?? How exactly did they think this Zoom thingy works?? Or was it a rent-a-crowd that nowadays throws in a kit of APNU/AFC pants, T-shirt and mask, with a plate of cook-up rice thrown in at the end?? Your Eyewitness understands. Things hard!!
But what really concerns your Eyewitness is how we’re doing in “social cohesion” front, which Granger announced in 2015 as his central concern for this nation. The “coalition of all the peoples”, which the APNU/AFC Coalition represented, would be transformed to the grassroots. A tear rolled down your Eyewitness’s cheek.
Now, even if we were to accept the Mingoed numbers, didn’t the PPP get 47% or so of the votes?
Have their gymnastics since March 2 increased Social Cohesion??
…for Praks
Poor Praks. Here it is, the man sacrificed and became Dead Meat, for what?? For Moses to enjoy the big House on Main Street, which he insisted be air-conditioned and get a new stove?
Can’t Moses resign and give Praks a taste of the good life for even two weeks??
