I WAS hoping that at the APNU-AFC rally at Whim in Berbice, the AFC prime ministerial candidate, Moses Nagamootoo, would have laid out his 40-year-old plan to balance the ethnic makeup of Guyana’s Armed Forces. Moses, as a PPP member, laid the blame of the rigging of elections and the massacre of Indians at the doors of the armed forces and the X-13 plan. The armed forces are recipients of tax payers’ money.

Have these two become rear view mirror issues, subservient to your quest to become the prime minister? Moses seems to enter into this “reality distortion field” and think Indians are transactions for him to profit from. Or have you become an Africanised Indian and will come out after the election and spearhead a march to terrorise Indians and PPP/C supporters?
There is nothing radical about the AFC collating with the PNC. Ask Dr. Rupert Roopnarine; he too was supposed to deliver Indians to the PNC. The PNC/APNU is a repository where failed parties go to live out their nightmares. It is called the Kabaka/Burnham curse, as Dr. Walter Rodney said.
No one should thrust anyone who denies his ethnicity, because who knows what else he is ashamed of or hiding.
Furthermore, Moses should not have accepted the GOPIO award and he should be brave enough to return the award to the Global Organisation of People of Indian Origin.
When Mr. Sam Hinds was selected to become the PPP/C prime ministerial candidate, Mr. Moses threw a tantrum complaining that he was entitled to at least that position. Prime Minister Sam Hinds has not only brought change to the PPP/C, but has brought class and integrity to the office of the prime minister. He is a giant of a statesman and has never used any ‘cuss down’ language as Mr. Moses is using on the campaign trail. Prime Minister Sam Hinds should put his hands on Mr. Nagamootoo’s shoulders and blow some breeze on him.
My African friend from New Amsterdam e-mailed me and expressed her disappointment at the language MP Nagamootoo was using. She and her small child went to the Whim meeting with the bus right after church. The child wanted to know why the old man was speaking so much about toilet paper.

At Whim, Moses criticised the PPP/C plan to modernise the sugar industry but failed to disclose that he voted to have the funds invested in GuySuCo. He has on occasion called for the sugar industry to be closed down. What becomes of the sugar workers, Grand Pa Moses? Even Moses cannot have two sweets from one joint of sugar cane. You can have only one sweet from one joint, but you can have rotten joints with worms in between.
He is also calling on Indians in the rice industry to vote for a Guyanese and not the Indian PPP/C government. His theme song of ‘this time na lang time, dis na dey before time’ is relevant because the rice industry is prospering without the PNC. My father, a rice farmer from Black Bush Polder, had his paddy seized by the PNC thugs while the paddy was in transit. Indians do not want their paddy seized again by PNC/APNU-AFC.
The rice farmers and millers have blown away the weevil infested PNC and will not vote for the PNC/APNU-AFC to re-infect their crops.
Moses dedicated the majority of his time on the lectern ‘cussing down’ the ex-president, asking him to use toilet paper on his mouth. Moses an ex-teacher, current MP and aspirant to the prime ministership should not sink to that kind of language. Grand Pa Moses should know better than using such nasty language. Grand Pa Moses is frothing from both sides of his mouth with hate. We will be forced to rate his meetings as PG-13 gatherings. Some of the people at the meeting were taken by church busses to Whim and should have called on the elder Moses to be more decent in his language. This is latrine politics the old man is preaching. Shame on you Moses! Is this the kind of change we should expect from you?
Guyanese, Moses Nagamootoo has no legitimacy calling on Indians at Whim to vote for him. Zero percent of Indians should cast their votes for PNC/APNU-AFC.
My friends in Corentyne always warned me not to trust “Nagga”, as we called Nagamootoo at New Amsterdam Freedom House.
Leave no stone unturned. Let the cup run over.
