An unfit and improper government that is now illegal

Mar 22, 2019 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

It is the mother of all ironies that this Coalition Government which is addictive to the use of the term ‘fit and proper’ has proven beyond any reasonable doubt that it has now dived into the dark abyss of the ‘unfit and improper’ to the point of no return. The time has passed for any type of salvage operations unless directives and interferences into the operations of GECOM are brought to a screeching halt.
It is now conclusive that the country has been set on a premeditated course to delay elections close to the 2020 Elections due date in order to buy the PNC time. The former DCEO of GECOM, Mr Vishnu Persaud has stated that it is not possible for elections to be held by November since the house to house registration will take at least 68 weeks or 17 months. This will take us to September 2020. In other words, the original due date for the 2020 Elections.
Moreover, the courts cannot direct GECOM to call an Election and the President has bowled the election ‘preparedness’ spin to GECOM which swallowed it hook, line and sinker, and added it to its repertoire of excuses and trickeries.
The Coalition is fully aware that should an election be held any time soon they will be voted out of office. This is an option they can ill-afford. This means that they will lose the billions of oil dollars which would be available in the near future to perpetuate their good life status. The PNC cannot simply afford to lose the next election.
The ‘fit and proper’ Coalition piloted by the PNC has not only failed to deliver on its campaign promises but has eroded the economic gains made by the PPP/C Government who had inherited a bankrupt economy from the same PNC in 1992. Hordes of the Coalition’s own supporters have now rejected them and in just over three years the PNC’s partner in crime, the AFC, has all but completely disintegrated.
We must be unrelenting in our quest to ensure the eviction of this illegal Government by all means peaceful and legitimate!

Yours sincerely,
Haseef Yusuf
RDC Councillor- Region 6
