Home Letters PNC is notorious for its passive-aggressive actions
Dear Editor,
There are reports circulating that Chairwoman of the GECOM, as well as Government-appointed Commissioner Vincent Alexander, have been threatened by person/s unknown on the social media platform Facebook. The Chairwoman explicitly stated that “a bounty is on her head”, which means that her safety is at risk. This is no idle talk, especially at a time like this, when the Madam Justice (retired) is “trying” her “best” at the balancing act of pacifying an ongoing electoral battle between contesting political parties.
Certainly it is no easy task standing in her position, so I urge the authorities to give this matter their urgent attention.
I would not, in the least, trivialise this allegation, knowing fully well how contentious, volatile, and violent the political landscape in Guyana can become. We have gone down this road before many times over with morbid results being our legacy, so my advice to those involved is: let’s stop this nonsense right now.
That being said, I would like to share a few pieces of information that might shed some light in this dark tunnel of Guyanese politics. I would like us to focus on the 2015 election. In that election, the Commission Chairman was a little tardy in his declaration of the final results, which on that occasion would prove the PNC/AFC Coalition winners. In true PNC style, they called out their supporters to a wake outside Mr Steve Surujbally’s home. Now, what is the purpose of a wake without a dead body; but that sent a spine-chilling signal to the chairman what their intentions were. Two days later, the coalition was declared winners of the 2015 Elections by a slim majority. After that, there was peace in the valley.
In closing I urge Madam Justice (retired) Claudette Singh to check on the histrionics of the party she is shielding right now, thereby gathering valuable information with which law enforcement can work and get to the bottom of this whole affair. I rest my case.
Respectfully,
Neil Adams
