THE People’s Progressive Party/Civic wishes to state categorically that it is unethical for the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) to use the same advertising agency -TAGMAN – as the one being used by the APNU for its elections campaign. The Party has not publicly objected to that unprincipled decision, and hoped that GECOM would have corrected the situation. Instead, GECOM has exacerbated the situation.
Now, to our amazement, GECOM is recommending the same opposition contracted PR company – TAGMAN – to be in charge of disseminating the 2011 elections results. This we view as a clear breach of all established principles of non-partisanship, and can add to the process being compromised or interfered with.
The PPP/C demands that GECOM reconsider its decision to use a clearly partisan PR outfit for its work which must always be above board and beyond any suggestion of partisan influence. The PPP/C also calls on all stakeholders to take note of this development.
