THIS Government must be complimented for allowing its joint services to cast their ballots of their own free will.

This did not happen in 1973 when  I  served in the Guyana Police Force. Then, ranks were forced to sign proxy forms which were retrieved by their subordinate officers.

I, for one, did not fall for this type of bullyism and there might have been others too. I questioned why should I sign a proxy form when I live in the same district as the Police Station?

I refused and I voted at the rightful place and because of that I started to feel the political pressure.
