RAPHAEL Trotman unlikely for 10th Parliament “Kaieteur News dated Saturday January 7, 2012”: “I will not be involved in the business of playing politics or being in the Chamber for the sake of being here knowing that my ability to offer genuine representation is stymied or non-existent.” Trotman had told the House that “we desperately need a President, (and a government), who demonstrates the capacity, ability and willingness to bridge the ethnic and political divide to confront and address legacy issues that spurn hate and revenge; to forge a culture of accountability and acknowledgement that creates the atmosphere for forgiveness and reconciliation; and to put Guyana and all of its people first, and not ego, blind ambition, ethnicity, gender, religious belief, age, and even sexual orientation, if I am to be politically correct.”

Raphael Trotman could only be fooling himself with his political rhetoric.
Maybe he is looking for sympathy and wants others in the AFC to go on their knees begging him to stay on and fight the good fight with his political bosses in the PNC.
Most Guyanese see Raphael Trotman as an opportunistic politician as when things do not go his way he cries and wants to pick up the ball and leave the play ground spouting, ranting and raving about fairplay.
When Raphael Trotman and his cohort sidekicks in AFC tried to push Ramjattan out of an agreed rotation agreement, Trotman was enjoying it until the people of the street started asking what happened to rotation.
Trotman and his AFC cohorts tried to wiggle their way out by saying “rotation would occur only if AFC had won the 2006 election” what a load of crock.
Trotman refused to play second fiddle to Ramjattan after Trotman and his AFC cohorts were trapped into making Ramjattan presidential candidate of AFC for the 2011 election.
AFC then named Sheila Holder as prime ministerial candidate, but unfortunately she got sick and died.
It was only after the lady’s death that Trotman’s AFC cohorts begged him to work as second fiddle to Ramjattan which Trotman could not refuse, since Moses came over from the PPP/C to join AFC.
Why do Guyanese think Trotman and his AFC cohorts never bothered to campaign heavily in PNC strongholds?
Trotman wanted Ramjattan to fail, but it backfired on him and his AFC cohorts when AFC gained seven seats in Parliament.
Yes, I repeat what I said. Trotman wanted Ramjattan to fail so Trotman’s cohorts in the AFC would beg him to lead the AFC again because of rotation.
Trotman said: “We desperately need a President.” Well I have news for you Trotman. Donald Ramotar is yours and President of all Guyanese like it or not, since the Guyanese people spoke on elections day.
Trotman said we need a president and government, who will demonstrate the capacity, ability and willingness to bridge the ethnic and political divide”
Deadly questions for Raphalel Trotman now! I wish he would be given space to respond.
Why was Chantalle Smith sitting in Parliament over Gaumattie Singh?
Was it for as what you said, “wages”?
Were you not playing the race card with Chantalle Smith an Afro-Guyanese woman picked over Gaumattie Singh, an Indian woman?
Were you Trotman putting all Guyanese first when you did that to Gaumattie Singh, or because Indian Gaumattie Singh is not considered Guyanese in your thinking capacity?
Trotman, you are indeed politically correct because you chose Afro first and foremost as Guyanese and none Afros as not Guyanese.
