Dear Editor,
Electoral fraud has been committed; the people Guyana know it; all those who colluded for it to happen, know it and the world also knows.
Only the Commission, and, more specifically, the Chairman, Justice Claudette Singh can let Guyana and the “Will of the people” breathe. It is extremely difficult for any reasonable thinking person to accept or believe that with all of the glaring evidence of electoral fraud, that more than half of Guyana’s population will accept a declaration of a winner.
Thousands of votes are in question, inclusive of the Disciplined Services votes. Men and women who put their lives on the line every day to ensure that Guyana and its people are safe were disgracefully and intentionally disenfranchised, because some of the GECOM’s staff, agents of a political interest, didn’t place the official six-digit stamp on their ballots, making those ballots legally invalid.
How could one who is trained, sworn on the Holy Bible, the Holy Quran or the Bhagavad Gita to do the honourable thing that they are paid with taxpayers money to do, blatantly leave out all of the statutory documents of 41 boxes that had to be placed in, at the end of the process on Elections Day; boxes with more than ten thousand ballots.
How could an important document as a poll book be missing; a book that contains a record of evidence that says what took place on Elections Day at each station. Are we to accept the simplistic view that it just got misplaced? A book that says how many persons were eligible to vote at a specific polling station, how many ballots were issued, spoilt, damaged, how many proxies were entertained etc.
Mr. Editor, how is it that those trained and paid staff could have allowed thousands of persons without certificates of employment or oaths of identity to cast their ballots? Were they paid or promised something for such a bidding, to disenfranchise the “true will” of the Guyanese people?
Mr. Editor, no contender of a process will accept an intentional and unjust act committed against them, especially when the evidence is insurmountable. It’s pellucid and clear as day. The world has been witness to the treatment of African-Americans and said nothing for far too long; it took the “Law” on the knee of an innocent black man, a father, a brother, an uncle, a friend’s neck, who cried for help, who called out to this mother with his last breath, “I can’t breathe”. This is what it took for America and the world to respond to the glaring evidence of injustice to a people by a fraudulent system that perpetuated systematic oppression and injustice on a selected people of the human race.
America, their mantra, “In GOD we Trust” and “All men are created equal…” Really!!
Mr. Editor, I put it to your readers: Who will accept that the substantive evidence discovered in these elections, were they exposed to this magnitude in any of the ABCE countries, their people who pride their democracies, would not allow the “Will of their people” to be trampled on by imposing tainted results from a fraudulent process that disenfranchised their Disciplined Services men and women, and moreover, hard-working taxpayers, the truest and unquestioned expectation of the people’s will. So why should we accept anything less?
Mr. Editor, Guyanese are victims of a fraudulent electoral system that the evidence of the March 2, 2020 elections’ national recount shows without doubt. A tainted result is the fruits of this now known and confirmed vividly-flawed system. The gazetted Order is clear: To deliver a “final credible count”, that count is not credible. I know it, the evidence knows it, and even those who want not to accept this truth, knows it as well. No fancy rhetoric is needed to persuade any right thinking Guyanese to do the right thing and annul this process that has its knee on our people and this nation’s neck.
Regards,
Jermaine Figueira
