Dear Editor,
We the people, through our legitimate representative the PPP/C, are saying no to house-to-house “elections”, did I say house-to-house elections? Yes, I did and that was not a mistake, it was a deliberate statement. The details of what I said earlier will be explained later in my discourse. We vehemently reject any skulduggery whatsoever. Only a free and fair process which rules out the house-to-house GECOM is promoting.
The house-to-house so-called registration is not to add those who have reached the age of 18 years and are now eligible to vote, far from it, this exercise is to verify an already padded voters’ list. That list has the names of persons who are all non-nationals, but persons who are nonetheless in receipt of a Guyana Identification card thus making them eligible to vote at the upcoming elections.
Information coming to hand is that there are a number of persons with fake ID’s who are to be placed on a voters’ list in preparation for Election Day. And here is how they plan to do it:
Persons of the likes of Haitians and Venezuelans, even persons from faraway places like Ghana, are in receipt of Guyana ID cards with Guyanese names. Some of these persons cannot speak a word of English, nor are they familiar with the geographical location of the place they were told that they were born. Nevertheless, they are persons who have been afforded the title of having been domiciled here in Guyana and are eligible to vote.
So, the house-to-house is a plan to re-register them in an area which is – as in the case of a Haitian I befriended – more “friendly” to their cause and in a place where their racial composition would not be called into question.
The house-to-house is to “perfect” or update the list, to match what would be declared on Election Day if a recount is so ordered. Seeing that the PNC is not too au fait with figures, they are trying their utmost to get the numbers to match.
This is a seemingly airtight plan of theirs but information that is in our possession makes us all the more knowledgeable and more resolute to disappoint them. We would be blocking this avenue ever manifesting itself in a botched election victory for the fraudsters.
Now, those in Government circles would want to dismiss this as another Opposition propaganda attempt to derail the house-to-house programme. But I ask them to take a walk around Georgetown and speak to persons at random, you would get the shocking reality as to what I am talking about.
In another instance, some of the foreigners are already boldly using their fake identification to transact business. Fantastic! Some of the foreigners are so clumsy that they are utilising their ID to gain employment in some of those security services who underpay their workers. I say no more.
The next election is earmarked for a massive fraud as one PNC supporter puts it. The PPP/C is in for a “great surprise” next election. That surprise is a one seat election victory for his party. He further asserted, “Is you all who want election … well is election you all gon get don’t be surprise”. So, there you have it, they have let the cat out of the bag, they have given their party’s plan away.
In all of this, I think the Chief Elections Officer is aware of the plan, he cannot feign ignorance of the fact because much of what I said is taking place right under his nose in Georgetown. It is the most talked about topic in the city so how can he say that he is not knowledgeable of it?
In any case, if he so claims ignorance of the fact then from henceforth he is put on high alert of this well thought out scheme and should make every effort to rectify it before it is too late.
I still think Lowenfield is redeemable because he is not too comfortable with the plan, he sees jail time awaiting them if that scheme is not abandoned. But others of the conspiracy are adamant that the plan will work. After all, they must do something for “their boy,” come what may we must push for that one-seat majority win again.
I call on Lowenfield to come clean and adhere to the Opposition’s call for a no house-to-house registration and go along with a clean voters’ list. The people would not be kind to you if you deny them the right to choose who governs them, they would call for the severest of penalties for the lawbreakers. The people of Guyana would be asking for the head of those who denied them the right to choose their own Government.
I call on Mr Lowenfield to rid himself of this fraudulent scheme because at the end of the day the buck falls on him. You would have to face the music as the one who supervised a fraud committed on the Guyanese people. It is not too late to come clean on these actions sir.
Respectfully,
Neil Adams
