Georgetown: Chairman of a New and United Guyana (ANUG) Timothy Jonas Friday afternoon denied claims that he was demonstrating respiratory symptoms of COVID 19 and believes that there is a sinister plot afoot because of his involvement in the ongoing national recount exercise.
In a Facebook live, the ANUG Chairman questioned whether there is an attempt being made to sideline people who may be an “inconvenience to authorities.”
He explained that having been at the Arthur Chung Conference Center on Thursday, where the recount is underway, he received a telephone call Friday morning from an official at the Ministry of Health that there was a report that he had respiratory symptoms.
He said he was advised to have a test done for Covid-19.
Further, Jonas, an attorney at law said he told the official to put the information in writing and he later visited the Ministry to uplift the document which again informed him that he was reported to be demonstrating Covid-19 symptoms.
While maintaining that he had no such symptoms, Jonas exclaimed “This is amazing.”
He said he met a Cuban trained doctor at the Ministry whom he believes is an “honest hard-working man” and showed him that he had no symptoms but was, in turn, informed that some persons are asymptomatic.
Jonas is now questioning how he can be asymptomatic when the letter clearly states that he was demonstrating symptoms.
He intends to go to his own doctor to get an assessment and will respond to the Ministry of Health in that regard.
Jonas is one of several opposition officials that has accused the incumbent APNU/AFC of trying to rig the elections to remain in office.
The ANUG Chairman also noted that a politician in the form of Joseph Harmon is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Task Force (NCTF).
He noted that the task force was also used to deny the Carter Center access to monitor the recount and it is also being used as a tool to frustrate individuals and the process.
