GAPPY UP TO HIS TRICKS AGAIN!!

 

Addendum to Transcript of H. Gappy Refusal to accept 4th Submittal of MSR

The transcript of Hendrik Gappy refusing to accept a 4th Submittal of MSR of its manifesto is highly indicative of his bias, arbitrary and capricous intent to deny MSR certification.

Mr. Gappy attempts to lure MSR member Isaac with the way forward as being a case before the Constitutional Court to seek redress because Mr. Gappy  knows the process before the courts will be long and drawn out with appeals, that will go beyond Nomination Day for the 2011 Presidential Elections. Final court decisions will be made long after elections have passed.

It is for this reason, why MSR has submitted numerous amended manifestos to attempt to satisfy Mr. Gappy, as much as we can over the last Eight (8) months.

But because Mr. Gappy is making maliciously driven decisions in regards to MSR, there is nothing we can do satisfy Mr. Gappy.

It has been in exhausting all possibilities before us, that we have exposed Mr. Gappy's bias, his arbitrary conduct of public affairs, which render him not qualified to be the Electoral Commissioner to officiate fairly over any  election in Seychelles. Our experience demonstrates, Mr. Gappy is not capable of fairness. The recording, says it all when taken in the context of the realities MSR has faced. 

Mr. Gappy says we must go to court after each decision he makes. This is false, as he accepted Three (3) submittals and two amended submittals from MSR. The 4th submittal, was a Party Platform I gave Philippe Boulle to file, which he later amended slightly by simplifying it and eliminating the section on a poltical party. Mr. Gappy accepted that document, and Mr. Boulle is a Presidential candidate now.

The final exposure of Mr. Gappy's discriminatory conduct and effort to obstruct the process of certifying MSR is evidenced by the simple fact that as a Public Servant, he refused to even accept the document addressed to his office, and he refused to even give the MSR agent a written receipt for the documents intended for his office.

Can you imagine handing in documents to a government office, and they refuse to take them, refuse to give a receipt of acknowledgment of receipt of documents? The whole country would come to a standstill. This is what Mr. Gappy has done to the democratic culture in Seychelles, within the context of the election process which he officiates over. MSR has just been a tool to expose this flaw in our system.

The laughing over a serious matter by Mr. Gappy, in my opinion exposes Mr. Gappy's hidden agenda to block MSR from running in the Presidential elections to protect James Michel, the only President, to ever Bankrupt Seychelles. PL know that MSR's support bas eis from the opposition camp and their own party, as SPPF defectors have joined the MSR and  Michel cannot afford to have to face a third flank in the upcoming election. 

MSR has filed a Constitutional Court case as a last resort. But in the  meantime , the Commissioner of Elections has disenfranchised thousands of voters, from having the right to freely associate, and choose their representatives freely, a prerequisite to any democratic system. What Mr. Gappy is doing to MSR is not any different then what Apartheid South Africa did to ANC; it is not different then what the JUNTA in Burma has done to Aun Sun Su Kyi.

Tyranny has many faces, but always the same intent: keeping power at all cost.
