Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, In the journey that has been Guyana’s Elections 2020, there has been a relentless (conscious and exhaustingly constant) gaslighting of the public: certain individuals have embarked on a stratagem to cause intelligent, decent and fair-minded people to question their own observations, memory and judgement.

Dear Editor, Memo to APNU. Democracy is not a game, a sport.

Dear Editor, Recently I wrote an article on the 300+ Club.

Dear Editor, The present focus is on Covid-19 and the delay in the results of the March 2nd, 2020, General and Regional elections.

Dear Editor, Up to the end of the third day of the recount of votes cast in the March 2 elections, GECOM had completed a total of 108 boxes, or 4.62% of the 2,339 ballot boxes.

Dear Editor, The National Recount exercise allows for this nation to resolve whatever question exists about the election process in a peaceful manner.

Dear Editor, The preoccupation of Guyanese, both resident and abroad, with the recently held elections are rooted in much more than idle curiosity.

Dear Editor, I woke up today feeling like an eel having done something I realized was very irresponsible and stupid.

Dear Editor, What the public does not know about voting on election day is that there is a document called a “folio” which has a picture of all the persons registered to vote at that polling station.

Dear Editor, If the APNU+AFC party mouthpieces’ opinions on what constitutes a credible election are to be taken seriously, Guyana may never have another.

Dear Editor, The Baramita Toshao who claimed alleged disrespectful behaviour and conduct in the form of threats  being meted out to her and a fellow village councillor, ‘Baramita Toshao says threatened with arrest after asking cops to abide by COVID -19 curfew’ SN May 8, if true, could be discerned to be nothing more than sheer bullyism at its height It would be totally unacceptable if the rank(s) involved in this disgusting behaviour is only doing so to exercise their  male ego, chauvinism attitude since the Toshao is a female.

Dear Editor, I am not privy to all the facts surrounding the refusal of the authorities to assist with the return of the body of the late Komal Chand from Cuba but I respectfully wish to join the appeal for an expeditious return.

Dear Editor, As I begin to write, I am reminded of a Martin Carter piece in 1958, when he opined that ‘just as the man on the peak of a mountain sees a different world from the man in the valley, just so should we, from our particular context of being, see something more and something different from anybody else.’

Dear Editor, Yesterday marked one month since the President of GAWU, Mr Komal Chand passed away while he was receiving medical treatment in Cuba.

Dear Editor, The recount of the Elections has started. The media have been shutout of the premises to camp on the roadside.

Dear Editor, In its publication on May 4, 2020 the Stabroek News carried a story under the caption `Teemal Judgment seen as key part of Massiah’s legacy’.

Dear Editor, The Olympics have been rescheduled but the APNU+AFC games have not been affected.

Dear Editor, In 1983 the Police had a superhit titled, “I’ll be watching you” which is what I believe has come to capture the essences of Guyana’s March 2nd elections.

Dear Editor, Before we debate shared governance and create false positive solutions, Guyanese have to first accept there are 10 inconvenient truths facing us that we ignore or choose to ignore at our peril.

Dear Editor, I must confess I was very gratified to see the number of young people who were lining up early yesterday to spend 11 hours in (relatively) close confinement doing their civic duty in this time of viral political and covid-19 contagion.
