Dear Editor,
The lies must stop! Representatives of TNM, LJP and TCI all took to Facebook to debunk lies being pushed by the de facto regime. When will they stop lying? When will the PNC (branded as APNU+AFC) show an ounce of honesty and integrity that they so vigorously campaigned for?
In a Facebook post on the President’s page, and on James Bond’s Facebook page, there is being peddled claims that two PPP agents claimed they were up to nefarious activities in the tabulation room.
Lenox Shuman of the LJP stated in a Facebook post, “…to besmirch the character of personnel who continue to conduct themselves with integrity is not only irresponsible…breathes racial suspicion…There has been no attempt at the tabulation of SORs this AM…All parties that contested these elections have been represented in this room since it opened.”
While Rondha Lam stated via Facebook: “…I am in the tabulation room. There was no secret meeting nor cloak and dagger hastily arranged meetings. We all heard it repeat what he was asked and his answer. In fact, close to 20 people heard it…”
It is heartbreaking to see how disingenuous are the people who are claiming to have won. This behaviour reminds me of playing games with my siblings and then behaving like a sore loser when I was a child, by crying out they cheated. Now in my early twenties, when I lose or when I’m wrong, I admit it; you learn from your failures, and accept constructive criticism to grow.
I can safely say the incumbent needs a moral compass, a lesson on ethics before they even consider running for office again, and a dictionary so they can understand what honesty and integrity mean. Perhaps then they will comprehend there was no secret meeting in the tabulation room, so fiascos like this election season would not repeat itself.
Respectfully,
Nutana Singh
