DEAR EDITOR,
In 2010, Barack Obama took responsibility for what he described as a “systemic failure” that resulted in an alleged terrorist boarding a flight to the United States. Obama noted that “[u]ltimately, the buck stops with me.”The same must apply to GECOM Chairperson, Claudette Singh, with respect to the systematic attempt by some in GECOM to subvert Guyana’s 2020 elections.
As per the usual operating standard, the Chair called a meeting for July 9, 2020 to address the election declaration. This was rescheduled to July 10, 2020; the reason being that the Government Commissioners needed time to study the July 8, 2020 judgment of the Caribbean Court of Justice.
It is probably not lost on these commissioners that the judgment was available to all and sundry on the court’s website. If they were so inclined, it was readily accessible. The inevitable conclusion is that something is afoot.
As Guyana has come to expect, these routine delays are followed by further mischief. These exhaustingly repetitive and sordid events have destroyed every shred of credibility of the characters involved.
The Chair of GECOM is ultimately accountable to Guyana. Her actions and inactions have held this country hostage. Ultimately, the buck stops with Claudette Singh.
