Jul 19, 2020 Letters
Dear Editor,
On Friday, July 18, 2020, I penned a letter, factual in its content, in relation to the under-informed pronouncements of the American Ambassador and Prime Minister Mottley, in relation to evidenced fraudulent voting in the 2020 elections. Guyana Times, on Saturday, July 19, did not carry my letter but facilitated a response by Commissioner Gunraj under the misleading caption: “Berating, abusing messengers do not change the facts”. Not carrying my letter or the caption does not surprise me. But it tells one story to the incisive minds and another to the blindfolded followers. Hereafter, I am addressing the incisive minds.
Gunraj in his letter seeks to tell me what I should be writing. This speaks volumes of the attempt to muzzle me and to monopolize what is disclosed to the public. It also reeks of contempt and an attempt to trample on my freedom of expression, which in his typical arrogance he refers to as “dog whistling”.
I simply, in my letter, disclosed that GECOM (I never said the Chair), had information (death certificates) on the dead who had voted and that that information would not have been availed to the CARICOM team, which reported that there was no evidence of the allegation that the dead voted, hence the under-informed pronouncements, which referenced the report. I also said that the Chair in a meeting acknowledged that GECOM was in possession of such death certificates. I will now further say that GECOM was and is in possession of information on impersonation of absent voters and that that information, seemingly, was also not disclosed to the CARICOM team. What I have said here is irrefutable. Unlike Gunraj, I make no attempt to draw conclusions for the readers. If he wants to highlight Mingo and his view on Mingo, he is free to do so. That has nothing to do with my right to keep the public informed with facts.
Gunraj can jump high or jump low; however, his attempt to obscure the facts as misinformation only exposes his mischief and alerts the incisive minds and the seekers of truth.
Yours faithfully, Vincent Alexander
No actual evidence of ‘dead’ voters has been presented to GECOM
Dear Editor,
I note, with deep concern, the attempt at dog whistling by my colleague, Vincent Alexander, Commissioner of GECOM in a missive to the press dated 17th July, 2020.
The primary and deliberate misinformation therein seeks to elevate the mere unfounded allegations raised during the recount process to proven facts. It is a matter of public notoriety that no evidence was tendered to support the allegations made during the recounts, except a few death certificates presented in isolation and without nexus.
Importantly, the decision of the Commission supported by a plethora of case law is that it has no jurisdiction, in any event, to investigate or pronounce upon the allegations aforesaid. This was confirmed by the recent decision of the Caribbean Court of Justice in the Eslyn David case, which stated that the established route for dealing with these matters is an Election Petition.
What my colleague has deliberately ignored, but in fact appears to countenance, is the insidious fraud perpetrated by Clairmont Mingo, and he advocates the use of declarations based upon same.
It is in recognition of this rank fraud that David Granger and Bharat Jagdeo agreed, with assistance of PM Mia Mottley, to a recount of all ballots cast in the 2nd March, 2020 Elections. One can seek to berate and abuse every messenger who calls out his complicity in thwarting the will of the electorate, but it does not change the facts.
Yours truly,
Sase Gunraj
