Guyana must again hang its head in infamy

Dear Editor,

Guyana must again hang its head in infamy and its citizens live with humiliation. Our country most certainly has entered record books as we now have the longest ever election process in the world. Now when Guyanese go abroad they would be remembered for Jim Jones and the world’s longest election. Never has our country, even under the ruinous days of Mr. Burnham, has descended to such low ebb. Our country has the entire OAS convene a special meeting to discuss the Guyana situation. Such notorieties are reserved for the worst of the lot and this is what Mr. Granger has done to us.

As I looked at the OAs meeting, I could not help but feel ashamed as a Guyanese after I listened to the presentations of Attorney-General, Mr. Basil Williams, and Foreign Affairs Minister, Dr. Karen Cummings, to a meeting of the OAS on July 21, 2020. These officials went into the gutter and lied to the OAS, which tells me that there is no shame the cabal would endure or perpetuate once they must hold on to power.

It seems to me too that Mr. Williams and Dr. Cummings are not only telling the lies but they very much believe them. How else can we explain that they did not even flinch once as they sat stoically and addressed the OAS? Indeed, they are a special kind of human who apparently lie without any remorse no doubt intending on perpetuating their guilty ways.

As I consider the actions of the ruling cabal, I am reminded of the stories I read and heard about from the holy books. Whatever your faith, each religion has captured episodes of evildoers seeking to impose their reign and way. But as those good books have thought us evil never triumphs. I am sure as time recorded and history reminds us that these evildoers too will not win.

Yours sincerely,
Liebert Alleyne
