WHO is Freddie Kissoon fooling with his column that an event in North America saved Corbin and that African Guyanese will not vote for PPP. (Kaieteur News August 4, 2009)
First, Trotman boasts that his AFC is becoming the major opposition to replace the PNCR. However, when they eventually published the photographs of the attendance at their, “successful” AFC Congress, it was even less than the amount at the PNCR disputed Georgetown District Conference.
What happened to all the new applications for membership that Trotman boasted were pouring in? At least the AFC could have asked Aubrey Norton to lend them some of his disenfranchised delegates, just as Corbin supporters lent Trotman and Ramjattan pickets and picketers and allowed them to pose with PNCR supporters at Parliament last Thursday to fool the public that they had a separate following?
If the AFC had borrowed PNCR supporters for their congress they may have fooled Freddie to write that their congress had an impressive showing just as he wrote in his column of the AFC about the AFC “upping the ante” With whom? With PNCR supporters?
Freddie again writes, “While Mr. Corbin was in Parliament the AFC leaders were … picketing … they had impressive slogans.” Whose slogans Freddie? Do you mean the PNCR slogans from Congress Place, some of which the police seized when the PNCR picketers arrived in PNCR Members of Parliament vehicles?
The truth is that the AFC and the PNCR were all one last Thursday with the AFC supporting the mischief and planned disorderly behaviour of PNCR leader Corbin. It is the PNCR that mounted a picket last Thursday and it was the PNCR supporters who were out there to support the PNCR planned disorderly behaviour in Parliament. Trotman and Ramjattan were all part of the plot. They waited with PNCR supporters and even borrowed their pickets to make their press statement look like they had great support.
What Freddie should tell his readers is that he, AFC and PNCR are all working together to get rid of the PPP. The people, African, Indian and Amerindian, however, are behind the PPP Freddie and they will vote again for the PPP.
