Lambert evades facing the truth

Mar 13, 2012 Letters

 

 

Dear Editor,
I refer to Earl Lambert’s letter in which he accused me of stretching the truth. At least I recognize the truth so I can at least stretch it. But Lambert is still to recognize, understand and accept the truth.
First, I conveyed the name of the person who advised me that at a polling station in Cane Grove the PPP had done mischief. Mr. Lambert now jumps from his original rejection of my claim to Cindy Sookdeo.
He wants Sookdeo to tell him what happened. Secondly, he skirts around Aubrey Norton’s implications. In fact, he does not understand what Norton meant. And I will explain it.
Norton is quoted in demerarawaves as saying that APNU did not properly monitor the election process on voting day in PPP strongholds. Any schoolboy will tell you that the meaning is he was pointing to wrong things committed by the PPP. Lambert quoted Norton as saying that had APNU put polling agents in Regions 2, 3 and 6, it would have done well. This is a shocking revelation. I did not know that in Regions 3 and 6 where APNU had large constituencies of voters it did not have polling agents.
The extrapolation is simply. These are PPP areas so is Cane Grove. Since 1957, the PPP has done well in Cane Grove. Why then are we not to assume that this was a PPP stronghold that wasn’t monitored properly as suggested by Norton?. Why is Lambert asking me for evidence of what Mr. Granger said? It was an APNU press release I was quoting from.
That is my evidence. Finally, Lambert in his original letter asked me if I want to see the Cane Grove voting results he will send them to me. I replied and said yes. But he is still to communicate with me. My conclusion is that Lambert is covering himself perhaps over lapses in the area he was in charge of on polling day
