US ready to work with GECOM, international observers on recount- Pompeo

United States Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo

United States (US) Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo has welcomed the decision by Guyana’s court system that effectively paves the way for a national recount of votes cast in last month’s general elections and pledged to work with the Guyana Elections Commission and foreign observers to get the task done.

“We’d also like to commend Guyana’s High Court for clearing the way for a nationwide recount of that country’s recent national elections as well. We look forward to working with the Elections Commission and the international observer community to ensure that that process is free, fair, transparent and credible,” he said.

That segment of Pompeo’s press conference was tweeted by the United States (US) embassy in Guyana.

GECOM spokeswoman, Yolanda Warde told News-Talk Radio Guyana 103.1 FM/ Demerara Waves Online News that the Guyana government would  have to invite foreign teams, but she said the commission was yet to endorse a Caribbean Community (CARICOM) team coming to Guyana for the recount.  “The Commission did contemplate a role for CARICOM as a key observer and that will be discussed further after recount plan is received from the CEO (Chief Elections Officer),” she said.

Elections Commissioner, Vincent Alexander has said the commission decided that a CARICOM  mission could come to validate the recount of the ballots cast on March 2, 2020. The Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, Dr. Keith Rowley has said his government would be willing to support of the high-level team which includes the Chief Elections Officers of Barbados, and Trinidad and Tobago, to scrutinise the recount.

Guyana’s Court of Appeal on Sunday ruled that GECOM could not assign the management and supervision of general elections to anyone and that anyone was free to seek a judicial review from the High Court to ascertain whether the seven-member commission was violating the law.

A Partnership for National Unity+Alliance For Change (APNU+AFC) candidate, Ulita Moore, according to President of the Court of Appeal, Dawn Gregory, secured a partial victory but due to the national importance and urgency of the case she declined to send it back to the High Court for the review to be conducted.

We watching all you. Nah play de rass dis time. Dis time nah lang time.

The question is, will Pompeo and observers still be around by the time these frigen creeps do a recount or will they be so fed up they will just eave and forget there is a country called Guyana?

Why would the US allow a dictatorship to thrive in Guyana when they are busy trying to dismantle one in neighboring Venezuela?  I find it difficult to believe that Exxon and the US are interested in oil and that's reason for them to support an undemocratic regime.  Guyana will do better under a democratic government and so would Exxon.

Who helped install Dictator Burnham?

How is Guyana or Venezuela any of America's business?  Guyana has a democratic government that respects the rule of law and the Venezuelan election the Americans deemed fraudulent was actually praised by many as being free and fair.  Among the latter was the Canadian Labour Congress.  This madness about American hegemony is nauseating.  Some transplanted Guyanese living in the US now believe they are powerful because Uncle Sam is theirs and they could influence Uncle Sam to impose sanctions and do all kinds of high handed things to small countries.  There are a few things to be cautious about on this front.  First, the USA is not the only power in the world.  Maduro has survived because of support from China, Russia and Iran.  Moreover, those Guyanese Americans who are campaigning for possible sanctions should know that when push comes to shove they would have no influence over their Uncle Sam.  Why? Uncle Sam is directed by big business .  Exxon will tell Uncle Sam what it wants .  Finally,  do the Guyanese Americans remember the cold war and what happened to Guyana in that period.  One of the most principled politicians the world has ever seen, Cheddi Jagan, was kept out of office by the same Uncle Sam some Guyanese now seem to worship.  The long and short of this matter is that in the final analysis Uncle Sam acts on behalf of big business and ,importantly, Uncle Sam is not as powerful as some would like to think.

First and foremost Guyana doesn't have a democratic government. Moreso one that respect the rule of any law. Volda and company have no respect for themselves so Uncle Sam or Aunty Merkel or anyone else would have no respect for them.

And if you think Russia and China would come to the aid of the PNC then you better think again.  Exxon cannot tell Uncle Sam what it wants. The CEO of Exxon was in Trump office a few days ago begging for a bailout. If that bailout doesn't come to fruition then they will be delaying oil production in Guyana for a year.

You were not around 1962 and 1964. You should have asked John Kennedy, George Meany, and Harold Wilson this stupid question.

@PrashadGo fly a kite!  Are you such a slave to American imperialism that you believe that because I express an opinion contrary to yours that worships the imperialists that I should go live in Cuba.  Yours is such an offensive view that I have to censor my words in responding to you.  I don't know where you live but I have seen people describe you as being a potato peeler in the American army.  If you want to "put some serious buss ass" on me come  and try it and you would not be able to even peel potatoes after.

Toats old boy sorry to inject myself here but contrary to u may have read, prash is not the potato peeler in the US Army. That title goes to the other fella.

From Prashad's posts on GNI, it seems that he prepares/cooks.

He definitely does not peel potatoes.

Say What, he bruk the potato peeler so he jus throwin the dam ting in whole now?

He throws in lock, stock and barrels plus much more, Cain.

Prashad is an instigator. The army prepared the man to be a part-time short-order cook and that's what he might be doing. Other than being a part-time cook, he is also a full-time comedian. Not sure if he has the title as a chef. He never mentioned it.

You wait till the man come in here, hmmm...the nerve, callin him a part time short order cook, shame on you, he doin it full time in a french fry truck yeh.

Well this is a new twist.  Now the claim is that the ballots have been tampered with.  Really?  How about the masquerade parties following the boxes from Turkeyen to Kingston back and forth and mookman Max interviewing a bunch of people calling themselves guardians of democracy?  With such heroes guarding the boxes still the ballots were tampered with?  Maybe there is another explanation.  Maybe the hijacked PPP is now afraid of what will be revealed by the recount.  What you say Rama?

Typical communist bull shit. Tell the poor man that you are looking out for him while you eat caviar and salt biscuits. If the poor man complain then you arrest him and put a 7.62x25 mm Tokarev bullet to the back of his head.  So Prashad knows how to sweep and clean bottom house.  There is dignity in labor.  But you elite communist hypocrites don't like to get your fingers dirty like your God F. Castro who use to put oil of olay on his hands.

Pompeo knew that the PPP/c won the election, so he should have called for the Government to resign as he did in venezuela.
