Dear Editor,
The imbroglio (using a mild word) is at last over. Never in the history of Guyana, or any country in the world, has such an election been so disgracefully conducted, with such underhand thievery for the sole purpose of rigging so as to stay in power. The conduct has been obviously repulsive. The underlings in GECOM did the biddings of APNU+AFC, cowardly and defiantly defying all – in Guyana, the world, including international organizations.
The rigging insulted the sensibilities of reasonable people. The nation became a laughing stock and an embarrassment. What an ignominious shame!
When the dust is settled, I urge that those who were part of the messy process should be made to account for their actions. There should be no revenge politics nor recrimination. A full inquiry should be conducted, not only for the puppets, but also for the puppeteers.
The conduct of the responsible officers was duplicitous and a betrayal of the oath of office. Those found culpable should get their deserved penalties. If young folks can be jailed for possessing a tiny quantity of ganja, people guilty of rigging should receive the severest punishment according to the law, hopefully as a deterrent; and hopefully that there should never be a recurrence in the future.
Yours faithfully,
G. Girdhari
