Basil always late, he does not understand what 24 hours mean.  He should be denied!  

Appeal will be on saturday at 10.00 am and to be completed on said day.

Procedural steps will continue with a possible decision by Tuesday, July 28, 2020

The Coalition has again indicated that it is open to meeting with the opposition parties to discuss the way forward.  Looking for a legal solution to what is essentially a political problem is ill-advised.  The opposition parties should take up the Coalition's offer.  

PNC can go fly a kite. They lost and should burger off.

Basil Jackass Williams made a fool of himself once again today.

The coalition is grabbing unto straws. They are defeated with nothing to show their supporters, now with CUP in hand begging the PPP for piece of the Pie.

 They had  four full years to discuss power sharing, but no, they were too busy destroying the country and filling their pockets.  That Train already left. The winner tales all, try that the next time around, if they ever get back into government.

There is only one way forward for the coalition, concede and let the will of the people be granted. This is not a political problem, this was an attempt to hijack an election. After the swearing in of a new administration, discussions with all parties and civil society can begin.

Long Live Democracy.

Viva La Democracia.

If it is not a political problem what is it?

This is a constitutional problem with the coalition violating the supreme law of the land. They know that they are on the wrong side of history, however, they are trying to hold the country hostage, making new demands on the incoming administration. They have lost all credibility and integrity. They are dishonest with their supporters and the entire nation.They have made Guyana into the laughingstock of the Caribbean and the world at large.

What part of the constitution has been violated?  As Pres. Granger has repeatedly stated no final declaration has been made by GECOM. Moreover, the irregularities engineered by the PPP notwithstanding the Coalition received more than 47% of the votes.  When the numbers affected by PPP cheating are rectified the Coalition will have more votes.  Insisting on only the quantitative provisions of the recount order is contrary to what was agreed by GECOM.  Counting and recounting ballots will obviously produce the same numbers.  In any case even a constitutional problem is a political problem.  What we are facing is a political problem that will not be solved by the Courts.  The current impasse is almost certainly headed to the CCJ where another fuzzy decision will be handed down , again to be interpreted as a victory by all sides.  Nothing will be solved because the Courts simply will not issue clear and precise directives.  We saw it with the NCM case and we are seeing it again with the current matters.  The current crisis presents a tremendous opportunity to constructively deal with a long festering problem.

The constitution was violated since the unilateral appointment of James Patterson as GECOM Chair. Then their was the passage of the NCM, they went to the court to get it dismissed. They are still in the courts buying time to squat in office. What they are basically saying now is if they are not declared the winner they are going to stay in office. The CCJ decisions were never fuzzy, it is a clear case of them not agreeing to the lawful decisions. They are usurpers and they will be removed one way or another. The Joint Services will not save them. 

Long Live Democracy.

It is interesting that Justice Brassington Reynolds was not on the bench. He is probably still trying to untangle himself from all the unnatural contortions required to reach his decisions in the Eslyn David case. I am disappointed in the lack of control that Justice Dawn Gregory has on her courtroom. This is in stark contrast to Justice Roxane George-Wiltshire of the High Court who does not suffer fools gladly. For instance, I do not think Justice George-Wiltshire would have tolerated Basil Williams representation that he did not think the timeline to file an appeal applied to him. With all due respect to Justice Priya Sewnarine-Beharry, who I have no knowledge of, I believe that as Justice Rishi Persaud goes there goes the ultimate outcome. However, I will humbly point out that the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu had it right when he said that those who have knowledge don’t predict; those who predict don’t have knowledge.

Justice Reynolds had to stand aside since he has ties to APNU, Phagwali Minister.
