Dr. Asquith Rose in the yesterday’s edition of the Kaieteur News.: “engage your brains before opening your mouth.”

How ironic that he is referring to FK aptly.

FREDDIE KISSOON IS WAY OFF TRACK

Aug 11, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

My respect and admiration of Kaieteur News columnist Freddie Kissoon took a nosedive last week when he asserted that persons not living in Guyana cannot make – or are not entitled to make – any form of comments or analyses of events in the country. He was referring to Paul Tennessee, Vishnu Bisram, Charles Sugrim, and Dr. Asquith Rose – none of whom need any assistance in this matter however, as a commentator on many Globe-Span TV shows I feel compelled to respond to his baseless and wild comments.

Kissoon, who is not a political scientist, but claims to be one should realise that he is a very poor and mediocre political analyst who thinks he is the only person in Guyana who should control the political domain. It is time someone like me tells this columnist to hush and stop making himself a fool. He is yesterday man in his thinking.

Freddie seems to have a problem with his identity as he constantly mentions in his columns that he grew up among blacks in Wortmanville and that his sisters dated and married black men. Apart from his immediate family and his dog, Freddie seems to radiate scant love for anyone else.

Freddie has a deep-rooted hatred for Guyanese who reside in the Diaspora and has stated on several occasions that Guyanese who reside in the Diaspora should not write or discuss anything about the issues in Guyana because according to him, they have abandoned the country when things were bad. He has relegated Guyanese in the Diaspora to second-and third-class citizens by stating that they should not be given jobs in Guyana even though they are qualified. At the same time, he has welcomed non-Guyanese foreigners into the country with open arms. He is also ignorant of the fact that remittances from the Diaspora have contributed to more than 30 percent of Guyana’s GDP.

Yet, this recluse who resides in Guyana writes about issues in the United States, Canada, Europe, the Caribbean and other countries. What a hypocrite? However, I believe that if Freddie is aware of the worldwide impact and the power of the social media, he would not criticise his fellow Guyanese in the diaspora for their involvement in the country’s affairs.

But many believe that his writings are simplistic and they are based on bogus information.

Chitlall hit the nail on its head.

Guess FK would criticize the Concerned Guyanese Association of Ontario to be concerned about happenings in Guyana with his simplistic writings.

Alyuh ease up on Freedie, the man must be over 70 years old.

Freddy is an idiot just like you, you believe y’all pnc is the only rightful ruler of Guyana because you supported them, [rigging, jumbie votes allegations and all] he believes he is the only one who knows all and has exclusive rights to write about Guyana news because he lives there. Y’all need to wake up and smell the coffee, social media [which Freddy snobs] brought down not only government like Egypt but Russians use it to influence US elections. Freddy, after being used and abused finally realize his ‘Indianess’ how much more patkay you can take from the PNC before you realize yours…hahahaha [maniacal laughter]

So Slop Can Man, how  your jumbee was able to vote?

Grainja is looking for you. PNC doesn't need my support. Almost 1/2 of the nation voted for them. Why are Indians, who have migrated,  are still on the voters list?

Lots of Guyanese migrate all over the world, not necessarily to settle/live. Majority in places like Barbados, Trinidad, Surinam, Brazil, Venezuela, Kayan  etc. still has a Guyanese passport with work permit [I know that because I was one]  work and send remittances home for their families. Can you PNC rigging supporters give reason why those migrant workers should be denied voting rights by removing their names from the list? What is their crime?

Moron, many left in the 70's and 80's. They have no interest in Guyana. Some have never returned. You want them on the list, because you can get someone to vote for them. You PPP riggers don't want HtH registration. Why?

Say hi to Miss Ivy Legs.

PPP statement after elections in 2015 ,why the change of mind now ?

https://www.stabroeknews.com/2...r-electoral-reforms/

The opposition PPP today called for electoral reforms to be placed on the front burner including a fresh voters list, improved bio-metrics, electronic voting and a new Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM).

Having refused to accept the results of this year’s general elections, the PPP said that after twenty-three years with “absolutely no reforms” at GECOM to cater for institutional strengthening through more transparent and impartial practices, the time has come for reforms to be placed on the front burner. The PPP was in office over that period and would have been able to introduce the reforms it is now seeking. While the party has rejected the results of the election, which it lost by a narrow margin, the international community has affirmed the validity of the polls.

The PPP called for the following reforms:

1. Enhanced bio-metrics
2. Electronic voting
3. Bringing the GECOM Secretariat under the purview of the Commission to enable the Commission to give the Secretariat general orders and directions.
4. Recruitment of GECOM’s key election officials such as Returning Officers and Presiding Officers and Poll Clerks through improved transparent and impartial processes.
5. A new voters’ list to be compiled on the basis of a fresh house to house enumeration.
6. Review the process that allows for voting by the Disciplined Services.
7. Amend the relevant sections of the Representation of the People Act to allow for the enactment of appropriate legislation to facilitate implementation of agreed reforms.
8. Selection of a new Chairman of GECOM

The PPP provided no details on the enhanced bio-metrics that it is seeking. Fingerprinting is used at the moment. The voters list for this year’s elections was thought to have been swollen with the names of tens of thousands of people who have migrated or have died and this had raised concerns for all parties.

Following its loss of the election, the PPP began calling for the removal of GECOM Chairman Dr Steve Surujbally and its statement today continues this demand.

With local government elections likely to be held in the coming months, the PPP’s sought-after reforms raises the question of the minimum that it would like to be in place before it contests.

The PPP pointed out that prior to 1992 elections the following reforms were instituted:

1. Counting of the votes at the place of poll;
2. A new voters’ list compiled on the basis of house to house enumeration;
3. Expansion of the Elections Commission and the selection of a new Chairman;
4. International and local observers to be present at polling stations.

The PPP said it is convinced that with its new proposed reforms enjoying the support of APNU+AFC, the donor community and other stakeholders, “Guyana’s electoral system supervised by GECOM will see the cleansing of the Augean stables thus enabling GECOM to make a `fresh start’”.

The PPP said it will be seeking clarification on proposals by Canada and the US to assist in the area of electronic voting. It noted that legal steps would have to be instituted to facilitate the introduction of machines for electronic counting and for tabulation of votes at any elections in Guyana.

It stated that GECOM must be integrally involved at all stages in relation to these offers by the US and Canada and “must, in the final analysis, be a key decision-maker on the matter, not the government alone.”

The PPP added that the introduction of machines for electronic counting must be discussed with all the stakeholders in a timely and transparent manner.

Further, such offers must not remain exclusive to the Granger-led APNU+AFC Coalition Administration, the party said.

Back in October 2015;

The PPP called for the following reforms:

1. Enhanced bio-metrics
2. Electronic voting
3. Bringing the GECOM Secretariat under the purview of the Commission to enable the Commission to give the Secretariat general orders and directions.
4. Recruitment of GECOM’s key election officials such as Returning Officers and Presiding Officers and Poll Clerks through improved transparent and impartial processes.
5. A new voters’ list to be compiled on the basis of a fresh house to house enumeration.
6. Review the process that allows for voting by the Disciplined Services.
7. Amend the relevant sections of the Representation of the People Act to allow for the enactment of appropriate legislation to facilitate implementation of agreed reforms.
8. Selection of a new Chairman of GECOM
