Coalition officials’ ever changing narrative

Apr 17, 2020 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

When one examines the behaviour and the recent utterances of some members of the coalition you can only come to the conclusion that they are suffering from some sort of malady.
Schizophrenia is diagnosed as a serious mental disorder in which people interpret reality abnormally. Schizophrenia may result in some combination of hallucinations, delusions, and extremely disordered thinking and behaviour that impairs daily functioning and can be a disability. I am no medical expert, but the behaviour of some members of the coalition leads one to believe that help in this area may be needed. If the hats fit, right.
We had the CEO of the GECOM Secretariat, Keith Lowenfield presenting a 156 day plan for the recount of all the votes. This plan was defended by the government nominated Commissioner, Vincent Alexander, and strongly criticized by the opposition-nominated Commissioners, and rightly so. Strangely enough a few days later the new narrative from the coalition was that the 156 days proposal emanated from the PPP. This despite a counter proposal from the opposition-nominated GECOM Commissioners, which drastically differed from the one Lowenfield presented. Someone is interpreting reality abnormally here.
We then had the new narrative from the coalition that the PPP does not want the recount of all the 10 regions as it would show a larger margin of victory for the coalition than the fraudulent one presented by GECOM. There are numerous occasions where the PPP General Secretary, Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo, has called for the recount of all the votes. He even signed on to an agreement with Caricom to do so. The PPP/C and many other NGOs have been saying that since there were no objections to the declaration of the result of the other nine regions, to resolve our current situation in a timely manner, focus should be on the contentious Region 4. What is wrong with that? Even so, however, the PPP has however consistently stated that it has no objection to all the regions being recounted. In fact it was the APNU/AFC coalition who asked for a recount in Region 5 and Region 6, which they abandoned soon after the recount started. It would be interesting to hear from them why they stopped. There is obviously some disordered thinking in the APNU/AFC Coalition’s camp, as is evidenced by their actions.
Finally one has to find it quite strange that the coalition would hire a firm to lobby on its behalf with the authorities in the US. Wasn’t it this same coalition who ridiculed the US for getting into our business? Calling them colonizers and other derogatory terms and telling them to stay out of our election business. Now they are seeking assistance from these same persons to prop up their illegal government and to stave off sanctions.
The APNU/AFC coalition is in such a confused state that they have both its leaders David Granger and Joseph Harmon listed as US citizens in the dossier prepared by their lobbyist. This means that either Harmon lied when he stated that he had given up his citizenship with the US or he is confused. David Granger would need to explain why he was listed as a US citizen. It is clear that persons in the coalition are not operating with stable minds.
The alternative to this reasoning is that they are unbothered about exhibiting utter contempt for the Guyanese people.
Outside of the APNU/AFC Coalition’s performance in government their recent behaviour – including the abysmal failure that is their response to the COVID-19 pandemic, should disqualify them from being in office.
It is time to get on with the recount of votes in Region 4, so that Guyana could move forward.

Yours truly,
S. Greaves
