Dear Editor,
The Private Sector Commission (PSC) strongly condemns the unprovoked aggression and attack against the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) and Guyana Police Force patrol on the Upper Cuyuni River, Region 7, while escorting GECOM officials and ballot boxes today.
This act of hostility, launched from the Venezuelan shore, is a direct affront not only to Guyana’s sovereignty but also to the democratic process currently underway in our nation. Any attempt to threaten or undermine the safe and fair conduct of elections must be denounced in the strongest possible terms.
The PSC highly commends the professionalism, courage, and swift response of the GDF and Police ranks, whose bravery ensured the safety of nine GECOM officials and the security of all ballot boxes in transit. Their decisive actions prevented injury, safeguarded election materials, and guaranteed that the ballots reached their intended polling stations without compromise.
The PSC expresses its deepest gratitude to the men and women of the Joint Services for their unwavering commitment to protecting Guyana’s democracy, even in the face of grave danger. Their service is a reminder of the vital role they play in preserving peace, stability, and the integrity of our electoral process.
The Commission reaffirms its support for the Joint Services and GECOM and calls on all stakeholders, national and international, to recognize the significance of this incident as a test of our nation’s resilience and commitment to democracy.
Regards,
Private Sector Commission
