Dear Mr. Granger,

I will stop short of congratulating your new Administration because I was very disappointed with the work of GECOM. Why declare the results when there were so many controversies that, if resolved, could have significantly impact the results, so much so that the results would have been different. Why would you, Mr. Granger, want to rule Guyana in such questionable circumstances? What do you have to lose? Let the ballots be recounted that the PPP requested! After all your Government will continue to be considered illegitimate until all the mess is cleared up by GECOM. If your Government wants to distance itself from the PNC of the past, then it must allow GECOM to honour the worthy requests of the PPP.
Another important undertaking of your Government, assuming that GECOM honours the PPP’s requests is the fact that you have promised not to engage in any witch-hunting. This witch- hunting will only hurt the already fragile relationship that exists between the two main races in Guyana. Remember that when Dr. Cheddi Jagan came to power in 1992, no PNC official was prosecuted. Don’t be guided by unstable and prejudiced people like Freddie Kissoon who is demanding justice because he feels that his daughter and wife were badly treated during the PPP Administration’s time in office. What proof does Kissoon have that Government officials were involved?
How about the hundreds of fathers, mothers and children whose characters were destroyed by Kissoon and Kaieteur News? Can you also ask Kissoon and Kaieteur News about justice for these people. Mr. Granger you have to put your foot down on Kissoon and Kaieteur News, so that they will stop destroying the characters of innocent people. I hope that you will have the courage to do this and also ask GECOM to check my vote and those of my fellow Guyanese! Thank you!
