Dear Editor,
IT is my opinion that the Stabroek News in recent months is appearing like the mouthpiece of the People’s Progressive Party. Its editorials are generally anti-coalition, which is a poor reflection on its claim of being the “free” press.

In its issue yesterday (Tuesday, September 10), it carried three letters from PPP executives, Clement Rohee, Donald Ramotar and Hydar Ally– all filled with reckless accusations.

Rohee is a known self-styled conspiracy theorist who writes about “The plot thickens”, “a conspiracy” between Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) and the coalition, “moves” that are suspicions, such as non-nationals to be qualified for citizenship in order to vote in the next elections, etc.

Then he talked about “rigging” using “concocted citizenship” which allegation is without reason or proof. The next letter is from Ramotar, surprisingly signed with the appellation, “former president.” Both Stabroek News and the “former president” know that the High Court has ruled that house-to-house registration was valid, yet published a letter under the heading, “The House to House registration of 2019 was an illegal act.” This is a blatant attack on our judiciary.

Hydar Ally wrote, “Will GECOM again prove to be a willing partner in the political power play”? This is a not-too-concealed attack on GECOM and its new independent chairperson. The least that Stabroek News could do, in the interest of balance, fairness and facts, is to point out that there is no evidence that the house-to-house process was either illegal or fraudulent.

Rovin Singh.
