Local Government Elections

Apr 11, 2013 Letters

 

 

DEAR EDITOR,
This perspective does not necessarily coincide with those of several stakeholders who are asking, and indeed shouting, for early Local Government Elections.
One reason their expressions can only be heard as a series of sound bites, is that since November 2011, not one of them, including particularly politicians of any stripe, and egregiously GECOM, has publicly adverted to the reports of the Elections Observer Teams who converged here, on invitation, in 2011.
The latter’s reports, and moreso that of the local EAB, seem to have been totally ignored.  This profound non-response is quite unacceptable, since collectively the criticisms and recommendations contained therein, detailed significant defects in the Commission’s planning, organisation, conduct and general disposition of human and material resources – all of which, incidentally, the Opposition vociferously complained about at the time; but has since failed to reinforce (at least publicly) their initial protestations with the required reference to the relevant Reports.
There must be a contradiction somewhere – in which Local Elections are to be remanded to a repetitiously broken system.
E.B. John
