Volda Lawrence is a powerful PNC Chairperson. Lawrence   engaged in lawlessness at GECOM by attempting to block transparent verification of Region 4 Statements of Poll. Lawrence is Minister of Health. Her ministry has prime responsibility for managing the Coronavirus outbreak in Guyana. 

Certain developments lead me to suspect that Volda Lawrence is abusing her powers related to COVID-19 to block recounting of ballots as agreed to by David Granger and Bharrat Jagdeo. On Monday, just as the recounting was expected to begin in the presence of a CARICOM watchdog team, Health Ministry functionaries swooped down on the Arthur Chung Convention Centre ostensibly to fumigate the premises against COVID-19 infections.

The recounting hangs in limbo due to a court order granted to an APNU+AFC candidate. The CARICOM team departed Guyana without accomplishing their mission. Some foreign elections observers are still in Guyana.

Yesterday Volda Lawrence contrived a high-profile meeting to take concrete measures ostensibly to contain the spread of COVID-19. CJIA and Ogle airports won't permit incoming flights for the next 2 weeks. The reasonable implications are that no more foreign elections observers can enter Guyana and those already in the country should hustle themselves out ASAP. 

So, the PNC is paving the way for GECOM to declare APNU+AFC as winner without any foreign "interference." PNC has 2 weeks to get back in government and consolidate its position. Granger could declare a State of Emergency that prohibits large gatherings of people to stem the COVID-19 tide and, more importantly, to prevent PPP/C and opposition demonstrations against the latest rigging. Volda and she people think dem smart.
