Madam GECOM Chairman, take a positive stand

Dear Editor,
It was with utter disgust that I read Vincent Alexander’s scornful attempt to defend the internationally disgraced GECOM CEO Keith Lowenfield, captioned, there is no “Lowenfield proposal” – Guyana Times, Sunday, April 12, 2020. What a mockery to the intelligence of the peace-loving Guyanese people, to Caricom (dark forces at work) and the international community.

Mr Alexander’s rush to cover for Lowenfield attracts a mountain of questions for which he will be forced to dig deep for suitable answers to carry on his charade of deception or he may very well choose to ignore them all. Some questions that are most mind-boggling – Why was he so pressured to defend Lowenfield? Why not the GECOM Public Relations Officer or Chairman Claudette Singh?

Why not the condemned Keith Lowenfield himself? What was so compelling for Alexander to jump to Lowenfield’s rescue? Where is the correlation between Commissioner Alexander’s function and the GECOM Secretariat? Has he threateningly seized the functions of the GECOM Secretariat and PR duties? In the scheme of things, only a rigger mastermind would do it for his colleague in crime.

156 days for the recount of the votes cast on March 2, 2020, at the General and Regional Elections is another of the PNC’s new mathematical inventions like 34 is half of 65. Nigel Huges was then the tutor, now it’s Vincent Alexander. Shameless riggers! Never ceases to create means by which to remain illegally in Government.

It is a collective master plan at work, Lowenfield, the GECOM Secretariat, squatting Government Commissioners, Alexander, Trotman and Corbin that is the driving force for the stalling of the recount and therein lies the problem, they will never be the solution. The longer Lowenfield has his Secretariat drag out a working proposal, the more Alexander will rise to his defence.

You see, in Alexander’s machinations of the 156 days for the recount, he did not envisage this level of massive outpourings of public outcry, aggressive criticism and onslaught on Lowenfield, written and spoken. Lowenfield has no defence because he was not the author of the proposal, it was Alexander’s proposal. Being the guilty mastermind, Alexander was spiked and felt bad for Lowenfield, hence the urge to defend him.

Public outrage at this time is at its highest, their lives have been taken for granted, put on hold and their rights brutishly trampled upon. They are fed up with the rigging games being perpetrated by APNU/AFC coalition, aided and abetted by GECOM, they are now out front in the defence of democracy. There will be more and more public outcry and challenges to the status quo.

When Alexander babbles about the words mischievous, malicious, ridiculous etc, those words are better appropriated to the description of the APNU/AFC coalition, Lowenfield and his Secretariat at GECOM, Alexander himself and his two co-conspirators on the Commission.

Alexander needs to come clean, say it, he is the author of the proposal. For once, he is honest when he said there is no “Lowenfield proposal”. By that admission, he has taken ownership of the 156-day proposal for the recount. Claudette Singh is fast asleep in her dream world; she needs to be wide awake. Madam GECOM Chairman, take a positive stand in the best interest of your countrymen and women, put an end to this APNU/AFC demonic plague that has stalked this land for too long.

Respectfully,
Parasram Persaud
