Dear Editor,
If we journey in the lighter vein we can say that our election is hilarious. Like you mentioned in one of your pieces, recently some of us are like the kid who picks up his bat and ball when he gets out. The PPP are behaving like this anecdotal kid.
Going forward we need to put legislation and rules in place that speak to timely declaration of electoral results and corresponding orderly handling over of business. It should be an offence in the law for anyone to shred and or destroy government documents. This should apply to all ministries, departments and corporations.
At the close of the polls the military should simply take possession of government sites and possessions. In the instant case, the incoming administration must hold a commission of enquiry into the workings of the previous administration and the elections commission. The objective of the commission should be to find out the root causes of the problems mentioned earlier with a view to taking remedial action and to ensure a smooth flow of government business at all times for the future.
No nation must be held at ransom by any group or groups. We now have a strong case for proscribing future activity of the PPP. Cyril Ramotar
