Letters to the Editor

Party agents must observe GECOM’s security protocol

Dear Editor, It has been brought to the attention of the Guyana Elections Commission that there is a whatsApp message circulating with a claim that `GECOM is now restricting party agents from moving around containers to ensure that they are safe and have not been compromised.’

What is yet to be determined by the court is whether GECOM can do the recount

Dear Editor, Attention is drawn to a report in Stabroek News that notwithstanding GECOM’s advice that it will await the Court’s decision on the recount, “Analysts have argued that the broad powers conferred on GECOM by the constitution permit it to continue taking necessary actions and that ultimately the Chair of the Com-mission Claudette Singh will have to ensure that a recount of the votes of Region Four is done as she has given an undertaking to Chief Justice Roxane George” (26th March, 2020 ‘GECOM says awaiting court ruling before any further actions -Claudette Singh facing key decisions’.)

Wrong affidavit

Dear Editor,  On the eve of a decision by the court it has now been revealed a wrong affidavit in the recount matter was filed.

Pride over sugar industry’s health benefits to workers

Dear Editor, From the perspective of one who has had substantial experience in the sugar industry of Guyana, one cannot help but feel a sense of pride when in observing the decision–making debacle surrounding the dispensation of health benefits of the ordinary worker in the United States of America – contradictorily about which there seems to be but minimal unification, certainly at the level of the federal administration, one reflects on our own achievements in this area.

As of March 2nd Ministers, including the PM, no longer have valid appointments

Dear Editor, Given the protracted delay with the declaration of the election result, the issue of whether persons appointed by the President to be Ministers, which includes the Prime Minister, and Vice Presidents, still hold their respective offices was raised as citizens questioned, quite rightfully, whether those persons should still be referring to themselves as such and receiving salaries and other benefits connected thereto all of which is paid for by citizens.

African Guyanese intellectuals have been silent

Dear Editor, I have been more than heartened at the tsunami of letters to you from distinguished Guyanese at home and abroad calling on President Granger to ‘do the right thing’ with regard to the flawed Region Four count.
