Dear editor,

I AM at my wits end with Bharrat. I am at the end of my tether with this man. No matter what we do, how we bend backwards or how much we compromise, it never seems to satisfy him. You think I am confabulating? Then just have a read of a few of the frustrating experiences we have had over the past few months.

Before the elections Bharrat was complaining more than the rescued Israelites did to God, even though he saved their lives from brutish slavery under the Egyptians and provided them daily manna, miraculously falling from the skies. Bharrat moaned and groaned about the elections date. He moaned and groaned about the government’s status. He moaned and groaned about H2H registration. He moaned and groaned about the list being sanitised. He moaned and groaned about polling stations at private residences. He moaned and groaned about everything apart from his 19 criminal charges choice of a puppet.

Then the election came and the moaning and groaning intensified. Twelve hours after the elections he was moaning and groaning about the results, when it is a known fact that never happened in Guyana. Then he was moaning and groaning about the spreadsheets being used by the Region Four RO, despite the fact that eight out of nine regions had used them. He moaned that the spreadsheets were fraudulent since he personally saw the RO adding 100 votes to APNU+AFC on every spreadsheet. Anyway, before the tabulation of Region Four was completed, Bharrat supervised an invasion and intimidation of GECOM staff, along with a demolition of the chairperson’s office door.

As a result of the above the chief justice became involved. Bharrat was asked what he wanted and in tears he said he wanted SoPs to be used by the Region Four RO. As a result the CJ “instructed” GECOM to use SoPs. As Bharrat was flounced down the court stairs, the CJ “shouted” out to him that he should not disturb the Region Four RO as he does his counting since she cannot deal with another Nigel Hughes-type mathematical “error.” So now the RO started to use his SoPs and Bharrat moaned and groaned. He wanted the RO to use SoPs that he manufactured on the 29th of February. The RO rightfully refused, since the election was on March 2nd. As a compromise the SoPs were projected onto a screen, since Bharrat was moaning and groaning about the RO not reading the correct number. That was done and despite Bharrat being able to see the vote tabulation, he moaned and groaned that he could not see the small serial numbers. He abruptly walked out of the process and APNU+AFC were declared the winners.

Then CARICOM told the Mercury-poisoned Americans, international observers and intrusive ambassadors to shut up, since they know Bharrat and they will sort him out. That was not an easy task but now a recount is on the way. Sophisticated words such as “operationalised, legal implications, modalities, legal procedural issues, notwithstanding” and other big words were intentionally used by GECOM to perplex Irfaan. Now that Bharrat has his recount he is now moaning and groaning that it is not enough to have it with a million PPP-friendly international observers, he wants it to be on live television.

Seriously Bharrat? Seriously? Bharrat, are you aware that this process would be for at least three months? Bharrat, you are demanding the impossible, three months without blackouts? Also Bharrat, it will be for 12 hours a day, with no intermission for advertisements or opportunities to blink. Bharrat ,at what point will you pass urine or do that other physiological process, if there are no breaks? Bharrat, you may not be aware that this counting process would have many stations. Let’s say the cameras are on station 1, how can we be assured that you will not later complain that the other stations cheated when the cameras were off them? Bharrat, what about confidentiality of the counting staff? They would rightfully be concerned about reprisals from the supporters of your party when the results are confirmed.

Bharrat, you are impossible, highly impossible. Freddie Kissoon clearly is not helping. One time his very reliable sources informed him that APNU+AFC won by one seat. Then his very reliable sources told him, a few days later, that you won by one seat. Then two days ago, his very reliable sources informed him that the PPP got 34 seats, APNU+AFC 28 and the small parties two. That adds up to 64 seats; not sure if Freddie will take the other seat. I think he should and hopefully shut up. My very reliable sources informed me that the very reliable sources who informed Freddie that David Patterson and Ramjattan were fighting in the middle of the street with sticks and cutlasses, informed Freddie of his changing numbers. And shockingly, Freddie of all people would accuse Mingo of making up things. By the way, the new narrative on his Phd that never was is that he was called to rescue Grenada. Poor chap, after more than 40 years from that infamous rescue, he has never found the time to do his Phd thesis or undertake any original research. LIE.
