They are not backing off, even though they know we know what they are up to. They just keep coming.
They sat in December 2018, and concocted a scheme to have fraudulent elections with the bloated and corrupt list. They bought Charandass, and immediately after started to shout, “resign! resign! resign! We must have elections in 90 days.” Since then they were thwarted at every turn. Yes, Charandass corrupt vote will stand, but they not getting the fraudulent elections.
They did their very best to delay GECOM effort to commence House to House Registration. They were successful in delaying H2H by more than two months by sabotaging the purchase of the stationary needed for the exercise. They hoped the court would have declared H2H unconstitutional, or that it could not be completed in the time frame. Well, they were wrong. The court ruled it constitutional, and left the decision on how to proceed up to GECOM.
Now GECOM doing its work they bawling. They saying the process will take too long. Wait a minute. Do you remember when they were walking out of meetings over and over to prevent the work of GECOM from progressing? Was it not them, through sabotage, that delayed the start of H2H by two months? Suh wat dem bawling fuh?
GECOM said it needs until March 2020 to deliver credible elections, and they bawling. They trying to gaslight. They trying to convince the nation that we have two quality of elections. Credible elections that come every five years, and corrupt elections that come after a no confidence motion.
Even now that the plot is exposed they just keep coming. Press conference after press conference. Court filing after court filing. There is no shame that we all know they are trying to rig an election. They just keep coming in all shapes and forms. If is not Bharat palavering at the press conferences, it is the PSC writing letters attacking Lowenfield and Trotman. Then trying to cajole Lowenfield with smiles, handshakes and drinks at a meeting. They believe they could attempt to besmirch, belittle, and insult, and when that don’t work, bring smiles and handshakes, and think reputable professionals will dance to their tune.
It is like a group of gunmen marking a victim. The victim knows they want to rob her, and they know that she knows, but they don’t care. They attempting to use the law as cover. They run to court to complain that she parked where she should not park. Their sidekicks shouting at her to move, she is in the wrong place. All in an effort to get her to move along to a location where they could pounce and strip her of her possessions and dignity.
They went to court and now claiming they got the CJ to strip GECOM of its’ ability to create a clean list. This is equivalent to them going to court to get the CJ to instruct the woman in the previous example to remove the locks from the doors of her car. All the while they are shouting that the elections must be called in November, when there is no other option but to use the bloated and corrupt list. They declared themselves, shocked, stunned, disappointed, and amazed.
GECOM said credible elections cannot be held before March 2020. GECOM is still trying to cut the time for non-statutory activities, without compromising the quality of the elections. GECOM is trying to deliver credible elections in the shortest possible time. In the meanwhile, the gunmen close-marking the victim, waiting on their chance to pounce. Ironically, their hope is that somehow the courts will prevent GECOM from delivering credible elections.
The people of Guyana must be vigilant because these gunmen are brazen and bareface.
