An attempt by Attorney General Basil Williams to warn of possible post elections violence has been labelled a threat by the opposition People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C).
According to a statement yesterday from the party, Williams, during a panel discussion organised by the American Chambers in Guyana at the Marriott Hotel on Tuesday, threatened “dire consequences” if house-to-house registration is not allowed to proceed, fallaciously insisted that house-to-house registration is the only means of obtaining a credible Voters’ List and disingenuously ignored the constitutional three-month deadline for Elections to be held in Guyana.
The statement quoted Williams as stating that “they are willing to go to the Election with an anyhow list. They are ready for their properties, and all these things, to be subjected to those same post-election type of violence that we had in the past. I don’t want to say well y’all go, go to the Election, because the consequences would be dire.”
