Dear Editor,
It all started with the No-Confidence Motion on December 21, 2018, and persists to this very day, I speak of a Government that was defeated but refuses to go. With the passage of that NCM, Guyana should have had an election ninety (90) days after, which took us to March 2019. However, Granger refused to budge and held on to power illegally, only calling elections (after being pressured) one year later. The telltale signs were there that this PNC-led cabal was prepared to frustrate the democratic process to the very end.
Now, we did have General Elections on March 2, 2020, however, Guyana is still without a constitutionally elected Government, reasons being that same illegal regime continues to foist itself on us. The burdensome legacy of a dinosaur leader continues to haunt us. Granger has been voted out of office but to date has turned up his nose on the democratic process that tossed him out. The people of this country have shown by their ballots that they do not want a PNC Government to lead them.
Knowing this, he has embarked on that vindictive and spiteful route of trying every which way to stay in power. But with every costly legal proceeding (millions has been expended) he is rebuffed. When will this foolishness come to an end? When would this nonsense meet its final, is it going to end with a recount or is it going to be the much-dreaded sanctions?
Why should a country with such a promising future be burdened by a fossil? Why should the progress of our country be hampered by an obstinate dictator? Why? These are all searching questions that we as a nation have to man up to. Are we going to roll over and accept an illegal regime and allow the dictator free reign or are we going to confront him with the firm resolve that the people’s will must be respected, which one of these scenarios? The law dictates the latter case scenario must be fulfilled and that is what we are sticking to. With no backing away from this resolve, we demand that every vote be counted. Every last vote must be counted, nothing more nothing less.
So, Granger, this is it, we have gone way past the limit of our human endurance and we call upon you. In fact, we demand that you bring this sick joke to an end. Our votes have to be counted, every last one, and the new President sworn in. It is high time we bring closure to this chapter of dictatorship and usher in an era of peace and progress.
Respectfully,
Neil Adams
