Chief, you are totally wrong!!!! Burnham left Guyana in a mess and Hoyte and Carl Greenigde did an excellent job though the ERP, Economic Recovery Program from 1985 to 1992. The economy was booming when the PPP took over in 1992.

The historical verdict is not in on the role of Hoyte in Guyanese contempory history.... he was one of the first PNC politicians who was not a member of the PPP in the early 1950's....

Many see Hoyte as an economic reformer after Burnham died but did they stop to consider that it was Hoyte who devalued the Guyana dollar,sold off state holdings like Guyana Timbers in secret deals at below market prices ? etc.....

Many regarded him as being instrumental in curbing crime in the late 1980'/early 1990's and yet he was the one who instigated the violent " mo fiah,slow fiah " campaign against the PPP govt in the late 1990's early 2000's.....

We must not forget too that Hoyte presided over the most outrageous rigging of the elections in 1985 .....

Why did Hoyte abondon the peace arrangements between the PPP and PNC in the late 1985 ?.....

Currencies are devalued on the insistence of the World's Monetary Funds. The intent is make the countries products more marketable on the global markets.

Alot of PPP propoganda painted a negative image of the PNC years while PPP in opposition.

As for the rigging of elections-who dare questioned the mighty USA on their fight against communism in the hemisphere.

Jimmy Carter couldn't have intervened if Hoyte didn't allow it. Why isn't Jimmy Carter intervening now with all the atrocities of this PPP administration??

Mr. Churchill,

You forgot to mention that Hoyte said that the white woman{the great Janet Jagan} could not beat him in an election and SHE WHIPPED HIS ASS.

That is why he instigated "mo fiah, slow fiah"

Also, he rigged the worst election in Guyana's history... worse than Forbes.

Why don't you post letter!

The senior president Bush wrote a letter to Hoyte telling him that US aid to Guyana would be discontinued if there was no free and fair elections....Senators Teddy Kennedy and Tom Harkin were amongst the many who advised Bush to write that letter....

I do not have a copy but perhaps Marlon might be in a position to obtain a copy and post it here.....

Churchie, Hoyte's political history indeed has many contradictions. The 1985 rigged elections and the "slow fiah, mo fiah", being two that are in contradistinction to his efforts to wipe out the "kick down the door" bandits and agreeing to reforms with the Jimmy Carter center that led to the 1992 elections.


The Guyana dollar devaluation however, is not something to knock him for. The Guyana dollar was over valued at G$10 to US$1 when he took over in 1985. What ever you may think of Hoyte's economic performance and the fact that the IMF dictated some of the terms - especially the monetary measures - he did liberalize the economy. And the US foreign aid had dried up to the PL480 wheat program and other minor ones.

Hoyte was never into the socialist nonsense. He might be a social liberal but his economics were market oriented. But alas, his contradictions did him in - his liking for Indo-Guyanese as close advisers notwithstanding.
Kari
I remember seeing an interview on TV with a senior bank manager during Hoyte's Presidency. The bank manager said that they are working out a deal with the government where parents can borrow money from the banks to pay for tuition at University of Guyana for their children. I ask myself what if the parents poor and cannot do this.


I would certainly not put Hoyte at the same level as Burnham and Jagan. It is like comparing Anup Jalota to Mukesh.

Seignet,

you missed the point, Burnham rigged elections. Hoyte's rigging was the worst. It was the first time that the US told the PNC that they must have free and fair elections or they would cut off all aid to Guyana. Hoyte did not want this but the PNC masters spoke and they had to listen. Their masters were embarassed by their continued rigging and dictatorship.
Hoyte actually believed that his rigging would become reality if there were free and fair elections.They rigged so much that they believed it was reality.
But how could they beat the father of the nation, the great Cheddi Jagan, in a free and fair election. Well we saw what happened

How can they do that? At every polling station, representatives of political parties will observe the voting, checking names, IDs, etc. At the end of the polling, the box is opened in front of all of them and the votes are counted right there. The results for that box are noted on a declaration form and all the representatives and the returning officer sign it as correct. The signed declaration from is then sent to the Elections Commission. Every party representative at that polling station will know how many votes each party gets after the observed count.

There is no longer the old pre-1992 system when the boxes were collected and taken to a central point to be opened and counted.

As long as the ballots can touch human hands they can be rigged. Do you have cameras at each site? Are the ballot of each geographic district different? Do they keep both the spoiled and cast ballots as a control in case there are discrepancies. No.

The PPP only need to pad region 4 with around 8 thousand ballots, 10 with 3500 and Amerind ares with another 3k and the win the majority. They can find ways to cheat. Human ingenuity for corrupt practices is limitless and given the PPP are brazen in their sense of entitlement and perniciously corrupt, one cannot put that pass them.

It is not about me having knowledge of that system. I do not. However as one with an analytic mind and trained in looking for errors in systems I am sure if I knew it can identify and possibly invent checks to any trying to game the system. I am sure the PPP can and they are not averse to cheating to protect their uncontrolled access to the state as a milk cow. I for one do not trust them and would advise prudence in dealing with them in all things.

If the security is simply in the counting of the votes and not on speculating on system failure otherwise than that is a huge oversight. It is about counting the votes speculating on where they can pad the votes and looking at how the can do it. That is what security people do it. Given that magicians trick people all the time it is clear that slights of hand can be used to pack the box even with people watching and that can be done anywhere there is a vulnerability and by anyone who knows the system.

It was therefore imperative that checks be built into the system. Again if the count count is the check in the system then that is a security travesty.

Aren't these a lot of suppositions? The Elections Commission (especially the three opposition members and the Chairman) surely must have been told of all types of scenarios (now that yours is added) to guard against.

CORRECT!

As D2 noted, there is no need for the PPP to engage in 'massive' fraud - a little bit of strategic rigging is all that is required to thwart the will of the People.

I don't know if anybody is paying attention, but the chain of custody for ballots cast by the Disciplined Services (voting 1 week early) leaves much to be desired.

There are huge (obvious) holes for PPP skullduggery . . . I hope I am proved wrong.

Surujbally is compromised, IMHO . . . GECOM will do its job honorably only insofar as the Opposition is looking over its collective shoulder - LIKE A HAWK!!

The opacity of what they do befuddles me. I would appreciate if you know these precautionary methodologies being used and already in place that you inform us so we can not speculate wildly but directly with respect to what exists. After all the PPP emulated the past PNC very closely to date so we must abide by the precautionary principle.

Will the boxes be opened to show they are empty at the start of the voting process?
