The US stands ready to work with the next democratically elected government, US Ambassador to Guyana, Sarah-Ann Lynch said in a message to the Guyanese people.

The message follows:

A Message from U.S. Ambassador Sarah-Ann Lynch to the People of Guyana

All eyes are on Guyana this week. I just returned from the worldwide U.S. Ambassador’s conference in Washington and there is great interest in free, fair and peaceful Guyanese elections on March 2. I encourage all registered voters to exercise their franchise in a peaceful manner and to allow others to do the same. Good luck to all the parties. After the people of Guyana have spoken, the United States stands ready to work with the next democratically elected administration, and I encourage all parties to respect the outcome.

Jones who is employed with the Department of Sport alleges that millions of tax payers dollars have been misused and there is an elaborate network of persons in government who are part of the scheme.

The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) last evening confirmed that a Presiding Officer was fired after she was found to be publicly campaigning for the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C).

Asked to confirm the firing of the official for a polling station located at Enmore, East Coast Demerara, GECOM spokeswoman Yolanda Ward said “she was removed from the position.”

Ward later explained to Stabroek News that while she did not know the name of the officer, she was aware that a Presiding Officer had been removed for publicly campaigning.

On Thursday, pictures of the person purported to be the officer dressed in PPP/C paraphernalia were posted on Facebook. The person who made the post claimed that the officer had been campaigning while employed by the Commission, in a position which requires political neutrality.

The issue was brought to the attention of the Returning Officer of Region Four, Clairmont Mingo, and the staff member was let go.

The Presiding Officers are responsible for the management of the operations of polling stations.

The connection between slo’ fyaah/mo’ fyaah, Buxton and the NCM

There is no sociologist I know who writes on Guyana that has rejected the paradigm traditionally used in academic literature to describe this nation – a plural society. In Guyana, the bifurcation is almost neat.
The two major race groups, whose numerical strength is separated by a few percentage points, have little in common in the following areas – occupation, culture, religion. By culture we include fashion, aesthetics, music, sports, and marriage, among other factors. This almost neat separation also takes in the Portuguese, who virtually frown on football and cricket. To find a Portuguese playing cricket in this country is as common as locating Jamaican businessmen in Iraq.
There is nothing essentially unstable or dangerous when two separate spheres of existence live alongside each other. The perpetual danger with Guyana’s ethnic bifurcation is that each sphere sees the capture of government as important in protecting and patronizing its ethnic and cultural constituencies.
In reality, these two worlds in Guyana are East Indians and Africans, and the pursuit for political and administrative power is done through political parties – PPP and PNC – that belong almost exclusively to Indians and Africans.
The plural nature of this society is more than a hundred years old, and the dangerous potentials that reside in it have come to the surface several times, with the most tragic being the internecine race violence in the first half of the sixties. There has hardly been a letup since then.
A plethora of scholars and independent observers the past seventy years have argued that the violent and tragic temperatures inherent in Guyana’s plural make-up can only be abated if there is some form – no matter how diluted, how weak, how amorphous – of power-sharing, which can eventually bring about a secure future through constitutional reform.
Two expressions, each coming from the wombs of the respective major parties – PPP and PNC – have been attempts to generate power-sharing dialogues. Both have failed. These two are the bandwagon of “slo’ fyaah/mo’ fyaah” invented by Opposition Leader, Desmond Hoyte. “Slo’ fyaah/mo’ fyaah” subsequently morphed into the “Buxton troubles.” The other was the plot to topple the government by the opposition PPP in 2018 through the no-confidence motion (NCM).
Desmond Hoyte became a very psychologically devastated politician after he saw the direction the Cheddi Jagan government went into after it won the 1992 elections. Hoyte had broken out of his Burnhamite, Freudian prison and sought to fashion a new, multi-racial, democratic Guyana. Jagan did not take a similar pathway. Hoyte resented the rule of Mrs. Jagan and Jagdeo, and figured out the 2001 election was the beginning of permanent PPP victories.
“Slo’ fyaah/mo’ fyaah” was the planning of national resistance to weaken the PPP regime and bring it to the table. Hoyte and the PNC were demanding power-sharing. It was a traditional, normal protest that almost succeeded in achieving its goal. Space would not allow for a delineation of the factors that caused its death.
Briefly, the PPP infiltrated “Slo’ fyaah/mo’ fyaah” with agent provocateurs who beat up Indian people and burned business places to make Hoyte look bad. Hoyte then caved in to the demands of civil society and the business community to douse the fire. “Slo’ fyaah/mo’ fyaah” took up residence in Buxton from Mash Day 2002. Space would not permit an elaboration.
The other attempt at power-sharing was the NCM in 2018. The PPP plotted the NCM with a deeply chagrined AFC parliamentarian – Charrandass Persaud – who was inconsolable over what he considered was the AFC’s betrayal of Guyana.
The PPP found Charran a willing ally in its fight to confront the APNU+AFC regime. Two emotions overtook the PPP. It felt that it did not lose the election. Three of its top leaders pointed out the action of a very senior U.S. envoy at the time. I prefer not to say more of what I know about that individual’s role.
Even if it accepted it lost by a coat of varnish (the result was 50.3 percent versus 49.7 percent), the PPP felt that APNU+AFC had no moral mandate to govern Guyana as if it won a landslide. My opinion is that the APNU+AFC government behaved as if it did.
With an election two days away, there is talk about the need for a minority government, to force constitutional changes to bring about the eventual dissolution of winner-takes-all politics that is unworkable and catastrophic in a plural society.
My honest, deeply felt belief is that only a minority government can push the PPP and PNC into constitutional change. If either one wins a majority, I believe they will not change. The PPP and PNC are historical leviathans who love power and enjoy hogging it.

Once the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP) wins the upcoming General and Regional Elections, all charges against its Presidential Candidate Irfaan Ali will be quashed.

This is according to PPP official, Anil Nandlall who served as Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs from 2011 to 2014 under the PPP regime.

Nandlall made this disclosure yesterday during an interview with radio personality Stan Gouveia on the programme “Hot Seat”.

According to Nandlall, the 19 charges for land fraud against Ali “amounts to no charge at all” as they are politically inspired.

Nandlall said that he and his party stand firm behind their Presidential Candidate. He said that he would only have taken a different stance if Ali was facing charges for child molestation, murder or stealing from a bank.

He made it clear that he will not condemn his colleague.

He added, “I myself am the victim of a trumped-up charge for two law books. Basil Williams (sitting Attorney General) instructed SOCU to charge me. I know this; I have the evidence.”

In fact, he said Williams should be the one facing charges since he has squandered billions of dollars “through his incompetence.”

For instance, Nandlall accused Williams of wasting US$1M on the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) leg of the no-confidence motion cases “to argue foolishness.”

While he did state what offence Williams should be charged with, Nandlall said there is sufficient basis to charge him.

“He (Williams) should definitely get life imprisonment,” Nandlall told the moderator.

Ali, according to SOCU, between 2011 and 2015, conspired with persons unknown to defraud the Government, when he acted recklessly by selling 19 plots of state lands at Plantation Sparendaam and Goedverwagting, East Coast Demerara.

The plots land which were sold for a mere $39.8M are valued at $212.4M, SOCU said.

During the interview, Nandlall was keen to point out that Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Shalimar Ali-Hack and PNCR Executive member Gary Best are beneficiaries of lands sold by Ali.

Best, Nandlall added, “killed somebody and up to now cannot be charged and is somewhere overseas allegedly recovering.” It appears as though Nandlall was referring to an accident involving Best and former national cyclist, Jude Bentley.

Turning his attention to former Minister of Finance under the PPP government, Ashni Singh and former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of National Industrial and Commercial Investment Limited (NICIL) Winston Brassington, Nandlall said they were still charged even though they obtained valuations for lands they sold.

Together, the two men are accused of selling 10.002 acres, 4.7 acres and 103 acres of State lands without first obtaining a valuation, as well as selling the lands way below the price it was valued at by a competent valuation officer. The offences were allegedly committed during 2008, 2009 and 2011.

On closing, Nandlall vowed, “Once we [PPP] win [the elections] we are going to quash every single one of them [charges]. We are going to quash them, throw them in the bin.”

He continued, “The relevant authorities will have to quash them because if they were acting independently in the first place those charges should have never been instituted.”

The separation of powers is an essential element of the Rule of Law and is enshrined in the Constitution. It prohibits the Executive from interfering with the judiciary.

As it is, both Nandlall and Ali had gone to the High Court to challenge the legality of the charges against them. Both of their applications were thrown out.

Obviously dissatisfied with the ruling, they filed similar applications at the Court of Appeal. While the court’s ruling on Ali’s applications is pending, Nandlall’s own was dismissed.

Nandlall has indicated that his next stop is the CCJ.
