Dear Editor,
IT is persons like Robin Singh who make it difficult for all Guyanese to live in peace and harmony. I read his letter, “Something must be rotten” (KN May 19, 2020). It is wicked, divisive and dishonest.

Robin is being wicked when he says President David Granger’s meeting on Saturday with GECOM Chair Justice Claudette Singh and three of the secretariat’s top-tier staff ” has compromised the integrity of the chair and staff by the most callous and indecent abuse of presidential privilege.”

Last week Friday Leader of the PPP Mr. Bharrat Jagdeo met with Justice Singh in similar manner, then after he held a press conference. Robin sees no problem with Mr. Jagdeo’s meeting or doesn’t feel this meeting has compromised the integrity of the chair and staff by the most callous and indecent abuse of former presidential privilege. I suspect he wants Justice Singh to be as rude as some in the society. Her respect for persons big and small seems to bother him. Her decency many like him despise. On Monday 18th Commissioner Vincent Alexander, while talking to the press at the Arthur Chung Convention Centre, reminded us about Mr. Jagdeo’s meeting with Justice Singh.

The PRO Yolanda Ward later in the day told us what the meeting was about– a thank you and words of appreciation from the President for what GECOM is doing. The President also met the CARICOM scrutineers and expressed his gratitude. Robin ignores these and seemingly does not understand or care for civility. I suspect he thinks such human decency would not make political mileage and would not succeed in dividing us. The nation is watching!.

Imagine civility is now a divisive issue. What next Robin, may I ask? Those who seek to score points being rude, disrespectful, dishonest and uncivil, shame on them. Guyana would be a better place when we reject their efforts to sink us into this morass.
Regards
