DEAR EDITOR,
Andaiye often said that silence could be construed as a political act. Silence has seemed the sensible course while we waited for the election results to be processed and announced. Now that the process has been subverted, it is time to speak.
What has taken place in Guyana in the past 48 hours is the political equivalent of a toddler covering his face and believing that he cannot be seen. It fools no one. There will be those who are prepared to accommodate or overlook the irregularities. I am not one of them.
To David Granger who is essentially claiming a second term, to the officials at GECOM who have departed from the verification of SOPs in Region 4, and to any others abetting these actions by their silence, I echo Andaiye’s statement many years ago and say, as one Guyanese: “No. Not in my name.”
Yours faithfully,
Isabelle de Caires

(Kaieteur News) – I like it. More money for Guyanese workers. Not private sector minimum wage workers, regrettably. If any local workers are due more money, private sector (and public service) minimum wage workers standout. More money is for Guyanese in the oil industry. Well, that’s...Freedom of speech is our core value at Kaieteur News.
