Why is Mr Norton obsessed with the removal of the GECOM Chairman?

Dear Editor,
There has been a longstanding argument within the ranks of the Opposition: that the GECOM Chairwoman must demit office, and that she should do so immediately. It all stems from that party’s valiant effort to get the former justice to sign on to a fraudulent declaration to make them winners of the March 2nd, 2020 General Election, which the alert justice did not accede to.
This infuriated them, and from that day onwards, the Opposition have been singing that chorus: the Chairwoman must go.
The point is: they want a chairperson whom they could control, or one that is a puppet on a string, easily swayed by their whims and fancies. It was their mistaken belief that they could have goaded her into signing an illegal document and seal the deal in that final chapter of their rigging apparatus. But that sordid arrangement was met with a blunt no, which has caused them to turn on the Chairwoman with unconcealed venom.
One must remember that the first call for a verification recount of the votes came from Justice Singh herself. The keen and erudite judge was the person who initiated the call for a recount, in her own words, “We shall count the votes all over again, one by one.”
She later would go on to say “I want not one dollar of the oil money”, judging from the fact that she knew the narrative the PNC would throw her way.
A vast number of their followers peddle the false accusation that the Chairwoman took bribes, so the former justice was making it pellucid that that was not the case.You see, the mountain Norton would have to surmount is that Justice Singh was legal and aboveboard in her selection to office. Unlike her predecessor, James Patterson, who was selected based on being a rubber stamp for the PNC, there was nothing untoward in Singh’s appointment. However, in all of this, Norton and the PNC’s remorse to this day would have been, “We should have done a more thorough background check to confirm her political leanings and whether she was into the rigging of a legitimate process”. That is the irksome task that has him having nightmares right now.
Finally, Justice Singh, with her many years of experience, would know who the PNC are. Who can know the PNC more than Madam Justice Singh; their lives, their propaganda, and deceit? As a Guyanese, she would have witnessed it in her daily life, and more so in the courts, where she presided.
The PNC has an onerous reputation for distorting the facts, and she would not sully her good reputation with such individuals.
A point of note here is that Justice Singh was in the 1997 fiasco when Hoyte, having lost the election by a landslide, wanted to have a court overturn the results in his favour. Justice Singh was that judge who presided over that election petition. The point I am making is: we are not going back into those years of fraudulent results and rigged elections, and a very good starting point is having a credible GECOM Chairperson.
Norton can blow his top as loudly and as long as he likes, that would not change anything; we are going to stick with the rules.

Respectfully,
Neil Adams
