Provide credible evidence for polls relating to our country

Aug 27, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,
Many die-hard PPP supporters will not see the necessity for transparency of any sort in delivering sensitive data dealing with the politics of Guyana. Any Guyanese familiar with PPP propaganda in Guyana will see the need to demand credible evidence for polls relating to our country.
A majority of people in Guyana wants Mr. Bisram to produce proper and credible evidence that he is conducting polls in a manner that is deemed suitable and impartial for a multicultural and multiethnic country like Guyana.
Legitimate questions we must be ask and they include: Where are Mr. Bisram’s workers who collect the poll information, and who are they and where are they located in – Guyana or New York? Can he give evidence as to the people (qualification etc.) who compile the data (information) and how was the analysis (mathematical) done? What is the percentage error bias in his poll? What are the questions asked and how they arrive at their conclusions? Can he provide a sample of questions asked during the last poll or any poll?
It is evident that transparency is needed and it is equally important that we can access these data to see how Mr. Bisram arrived at some of his conclusions.
Further his friends, like Mr. Boodram, must know that any legitimate pollster does provide his company’s information (staff, location, qualification, etc.) and details with regards to his or their protocols. This is particularly necessary when one enters the sensitive political arena of Guyana.
We hope that Mr. Bisram provides answers to the questions asked, since they are fair questions and reasonable requests. If he cannot comply (provide credible evidence), then his analyses and poll conclusions will be continued to be deemed an act of incitement in political circles and counter-productive.
