The PPP / C should not pay these legal fees
Dear Editor,
As I absorb local news and the US, things are emerging on how deranged elections have made people. I am also now firmly in my belief that elections are not entirely responsible for some of the aspirations. They were initially deranged, which conveys that some, whether Guyanese or American, should not be outside the appropriate institutions, including medical and correctional.
I start in Guyana, and our 19-month-long hysterias and total madness. In praise of recent audits, the revelation is that a huge amount has been spent on legal fees, with taxpayers now responsible. Local people who started acquiring foreigners should be charged. I say this understanding that few charges would stick; only the poor and uneducated are made to pay. On this, I don’t mind being absolute, which should say about my confidence in almost every system around, including political and judicial.
Next, we will issue a ticket to the recruited foreign legal eagles, since they responded to a professional call. For most of the local attorneys, whether they live here or not, I would be incompatible with these exploiters and grave thieves.
Editor, they were not in a principled legal contest. These legal goods were feasting on an open gravy train, which the public is now discovering holding the bag for the bill.
I remember that, on occasion, some turned to the media to attack those who called for the former president to surrender gracefully; I was so targeted.
At the time, I chalked the bitter and personal to the usual partisan politics that exists in most places, and as an irrational and sickening aspect of the quest for political power, no matter how delusional. My thought was that these fellows serve pro bono. Only now with $ 170M owed does the picture become clearer.
That is, I interfered with the financial operation (the gravy train), where the public was wiped dry under the guise of due process, the constitution (however strangely interpreted), and the rest of the devaluations completely caught out as part. principled electoral methods.
When I dared to say, having personally satisfied myself that this elections business was over, that it was time for the president to do the right thing, I was closing down the bank, so I was attacked.
After discovering that the source was money and not electoral integrity, so troubled that I would hang some of them in Stabroek Market square in the middle of the day.
I would be the hangman; the public should also volunteer to hang the games guys; because one way or another, the bill has to be paid. On this one, I call on the PPP / C not to pay one cent. Local legal people are so depressed that they would exploit poor. But enough about this regional asylum.
Editor, I should get a reward for choosing these asylums; First Guyana, then the good old USA. I think that given what is happening there, the US has deteriorated to a state that is worse than here, on the stuff of democracy.
If it were just men like the president and former mayor of NYC, then that’s to be expected, since both have gone so far that no punishment would be harsh enough. But there are those Republicans, from the humble and respected parliament, who have lost any claims of decency and honor, those attorneys who would steal widows and orphans to make dollars, and all under the name of di – democracy’s tongue-in-cheek.
For when could the incumbent in the White House initiate an hour-long conversation with Secretary of State Georgia Raffensperger to twist his arm, all but bullying him to cheat, how different is he to Guyanese reorganizers? The pursuit of power, indeed, makes many men crazy. I wonder where His Excellency, Ms Sarah Ann Lynch is, who should now be ashamed to have lectured and heard this backward place about democracy.
The Plenipotentiary Ambassador was in no position to educate or pressure anyone anywhere about the beginnings of democracy. I don’t know about her, but I am embarrassed twice and that is for the two places that are loved; maybe that’s why I can show my face and speak out.
As I consider all of this, I conclude that these commitments are not about democracy or justice or principle or honor; it is all about power and money.
