Nagamootoo’s shenanigans to prevent counting of votes shameless

Dear Editor,
The decision of ex-PM Nagamootoo (described as the PM who got larwah from Granger) to delay the recount is probably the lowest point of his political career. He has done many shameless things such as arguing that 33 is not the majority of 65, and openly fighting with Ramjattan who brought him into the AFC and put him up as the PM candidate, and justifying his son-in-law working as a middleman in a deal to buy the Skeldon Estate. Moses spent the majority of his life fighting against PNC electoral rigging, and now he is the chief one helping them to rig the 2020 election and defending them.
But the PNC’s continued saga of delay has drawn swift condemnation from Guyanese across the world in their social media blogs. The reaction ranges from “shameless” to a Mr Persaud who said, “ that is why I hope a few more make their minds like me, I’m prepared to die to set the fair-minded people of Guyana free from this dictatorship regime.” It’s the PNC versus the rest of the world. With every passing day, more and more people are condemning the PNC’s systematic plan to derail the elections and frustrating the nation so they can steal the elections again. Remember Granger said he was “the man with the plan.”
The blogs are abuzz with widespread condemnation in the latest scams being perpetrated by the PNC’s larwah man still pretending to be PM. Comments include, “These bullies are trying all way round to not do a recount;” and “I wasn’t expecting nothing different from Nagamootoo,” said Kurt. “This is a process with no end in sight” (Mohamed). “Nagamootoo is and will always be a snake, it’s why he was kicked out of PPP, because of his crookishness, hope he gets what he deserves, the namakharam.” “Which set of observers will leave their country and come to be quarantined in Guyana? (Winston).
“What a weak spineless fellow! Our essential service centres from grocery stores to carry out, all are accessible to the public with each person following simple guidelines, yet this fellow decides to lock up incoming observers in Guyana for 14 days!” (Iggi). “This situation has become beyond nonsensical. The GECOM Chair Claudette Singh must take full blame for this ridiculous state of affairs. Inaction, procrastination, delay and more delay has emanated from her position every single time when urgent action was required. What else was to be expected when she handed this latest decision making over to the PNC? It’s now patently obvious that a fair and urgent recount will never happen. It’s time for the western countries to step in, speak in no uncertain terms to Granger, and use the Statements of Poll to declare the winner” (JS).
So, if the PNC does not want a speedy recount, where do we go from here, as Nagamootoo’s ideas are a non-starter? “Counting votes should be exempt from curfew. It’s of national importance. Moses stap wid de crap,” said Buxton. “The SoPs from Region #4 should be tabulated and declare a winner. Each party has a SoP which can be used to determine the winner. The people of Guyana need medical help. We need a Government in place. People are unemployed and no help is coming from anywhere. The international community needs to take a closer look at what’s happening in Guyana,” (Ashwan). “This seems so silly! What does a curfew have to do with the re-count?” Another said, “Furthermore, why are people like Nagamootoo and the others being allowed to be verbose on things that are of paramount importance to the nation? Such people are occupying Government illegally. The world knows that. They have to be removed.” Krish said, “Once again, delaying tactics…The country at a standstill is of no consequence for Naga and co. The evil scheme of constant delay is in full gear.” “Drag on baby drag on and hold on to power, from Mingo to Lowenfield, Claudette, now Naga and the boss remain silent, ha, ha, oh lord please look down in Guyana,” (Annie). “Sanctions is the word coming to mind.”
The GECOM Chair has the power to complete the elections process in a fair, transparent manner, (virus or no virus) and must declare how she will do it versus asking for permission from disgraced politicians. This is a matter of urgent national importance and all available waivers apply. The Chair also promised the Chief Justice to complete the counting expeditiously, and if she continues to delay, the PPP needs to pursue the contempt actions against GECOM. The GECOM/PNC axis of evil has pushed the people over the edge and they are solely responsible for any consequences.

Sincerely,
Jerry Singh
