Dear Editor,
I’VE been reading of efforts to have the DPP consider withdrawing the private criminal charges against Lowenfield, and this morning saw a post, allegedly by one Rickford Burke in the USA, claiming that Granger, before he was deposed, should have used his powers to have the charges dropped.
I, and I’m certain, hundreds of thousands of Guyanese in and out of Guyana, would, if this is done, regard this as one of the most serious travesties of justice ever done to GUYANA and GUYANESE.

This man, in association with many known, like Mingo, and many unknown, has held this nation for OVER FIVE months to ransom, while attempting everything he could to delay the inevitable. I’m certain that MILLIONS of dollars, if not BILLIONS were expended on his subversive (possibly even treasonous) actions. Shouldn’t those responsible for this waste of resources be made to pay for their actions?

I can only hope that these charges are NOT discharged, and that he faces the full brunt of the Law.
I remember the advertisements before elections clearly stating elections offenses and the associated penalties for such offenses, and would have a severely difficult time in understanding how what he (and Mingo) did cannot be deemed offenses to attract the relevant penalties.
I hope the DPP acts with the full knowledge of the torture the Guyanese (and others) endured before he reluctantly complied with the Laws of Guyana.
Just as an aside, I seem to remember that FORMER President Granger is reported as having said that their election petition would have been ready for filing by this weekend.

May I suggest that if they are having difficulties in doing so, they can consult with Mr. Anil Nandlall?
Should they eventually succeed in putting something together, would the election petition filed after the 2015 elections be heard before the one related to 2020 elections?

Regards,
