Why strip the whole roof when a single zinc sheet is leaking?

Apr 10, 2020 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

The Private Sector Commission’s call for a Region 4 recount only, should not have attracted the condemnation from responsible and caring minds.
Guyana, like the rest of the world, faces unimaginable harm from the COVID-19. Several practical emergency measures are in place to reduce the hurt to the nation.
Which member of the Private Sector Commission, or any other person, would strip the whole roof off his premises after identifying the single zinc sheet which is leaking, and knowing there are heavier rains coming? None.
Their attention will be on the area where the leak is, and the most time-saving, practical way will be used to get the job done, even at extra cost. The extra cost will be weighed against the damage that will be done if the leak is not fixed before the heavy rains. Businessmen always look for the most efficient way to get things done.
Most will agree that a Region 4 ballot recount should be the first to be undertaken, preferably just to be completed. This is where the main discrepancy exists. If there is still doubt, then the other regions could be selected in order of merit for recount.
The Private Sector Commission’s worry about the many negative impacts of the COVID-19 should not be ignored. And any thoughts of prolonging the conclusion of the ballot count should not be considered.
Mr. Lowenfield’s estimation that the recount will take about 156 days does not give comfort to the nation. However, if the 156 days is man-hour days, then the duration can be drastically reduced to single figure days by employing more people to get the job done. Cost should not be an issue, as there was no cost-benefit done on the several court cases.
Sincerely
Faiyaz Alli
