Dear Editor,
I REFER to “Top Cop rebuffs KN story”, in the Guyana Chronicle of June 03, 2020. For the Kaieteur News, a print media that, since May 2015, has been an unabashed mouthpiece of an undemocratic and well-documented criminal state political party, to accuse the Commissioner of Police of sending false information to the Guyana Elections Commission, outlines a disrespect for such an office, and a reckless disregard for attempts of seeking the truth.

But first of all, the Commissioner must be congratulated for the urgency with which he has treated with the GECOM’S request, since it concerns a matter of extreme importance to the national interest, the March 02, regional and general elections; and secondly, for his prompt response to what is clearly another attempt by this muckraker and shameless stranger to the truth print, to bring into disrepute, not only the Coalition’s well-documented evidence of absent Guyanese casting ballots on March 2, but also the Elections Commission into disrepute. One could have predicted this latest foul attack coming from a newsprint which now wallows in yellow putridity. No wonder it had been categorised as a muckraker in a senior diplomatic dispatch some years ago.

It is an absurdity, that in the face of insurmountable evidence of electoral fraud, and with the GECOM having the vested authority to investigate such instances, granted in accordance with Article 162 of the Constitution, from which authority the Gazzetted Recount flows, that such a brazen attempt is mounted via a pathetic mouthpiece to bring the entire forensic process into disrepute. Surely, the eminent Editor, Adam Harris, had every right to exit such a filthy political media cesspool.

Reading the Kaieteur News story, it reeks of that familiar air of political corruption of the highest kind, for it is an attempt to cast similar aspersions on the Commissioner of Police for doing his duty in his constitutional discharge of supplying information on a very critical issue of national import. KN must be reminded that any such information requested from such a State institution responsible for such records, that there must be a response forthcoming, particularly to a request emanating from a constitutional organ as the GECOM.

Each day, it is appalling to observe that the media, which is said to be the public’s watch-dog, its pro-opposition segments, continues to be deliberate in the opposite direction of truth, as it aids and abets the opposition PPP/C in its vicious assault on the truth, as is clearly the instance in this extant matter where the credibility of the Commissioner of Police is being attacked.

It cannot be normal in any society for the truth not to be SOUGHT, or those opposed to such a search continue to use various subterfuge to impede its revelation. It cannot be normal either for truth to continuously be made a football, to be kicked in those dark directions so as to conceal its contents. It can only occur in a country in which anti-democratic forces abound, inclusive of those who thirst for political power at all costs, and who have managed to undermine the democratic process in a variety of ways, as has ever since become known.

It even becomes a national tragedy, of epic proportions, when the vested interest media, continues to aid and abet such a dangerous endeavour. It brings one to the perennial question, not really needed to be asked, but should be repeated, why are these dark forces, inclusive of the KN and its kindred rabble types, so bent on obfuscating and discrediting the current process of recount that was initiated to ascertain the credibility of the March 02, electoral process? Obviously, the answer is FEAR OF BEING DISCOVERED, OF BEING FOUND OUT, FOR THE ELECTORAL CRIMINALITY PERPETRATED ON THE NATION’S ELECTORAL PROCESS, BY ITS POLITICAL CARD. And the KN is a significant part and parcel of these crooked attempts at deceiving the nation. All AND SUNDRY MUST BE REMINDED, INCLUSIVE OF THE KN THAT THE TRUTH IS ONLY FEARED WHEN IT BRINGS TO LIGHT ITS ENEMIES.
Regards,
Troy Garraway
