Dear Editor, Initially I was hoping that good journalism will help Guyana to follow a legal path. But I was completely wrong. The PNC never won an election in Guyana and there are still doubts about the recent elections because of the false SOPs (Statement of Polls). That is why the Gecom CEO, Dr Steve Surujbally, refused to open the ballot boxes for a recount in front of all the television stations. Desmond Hoyte asked for a recount in 1997 and got it. It does not matter who wins the elections but it must be the will of the majority of the people.

What took place at the Gecom office is a criminal act. In England, Canada and USA the Police would have intervened and charges laid on all the individuals involved in tampering with the votes and electoral processes.

And this brings me to the point because Burnham rigged all elections and the USA and the world did not care a damned bit. It can be one or a combination of the following acts: False Overseas Voting (1968); GDF seizure of the ballot boxes (1973); referendum (1978); polling stations to be in PNC area only, and controlled by PNC party members (1968-1985); false voters list (1968-1985); and use of the Internet to manipulate the count. And worst of all is the PPP can do nothing about it or lacks measures to counteract these illegal actions.

They will have to walk the streets as they did between 1964 -1992.

To prevent future rigged elections, I propose that United Nations be posted at all polling stations and in the Gecom office during counting. The counting should be done in front of TV Cameras. Failure to implement these suggestions will allow the PNC to rig all future elections. Wake up PPP/C!

Yours truly, P Singh
