KINDLY permit me space in your newspaper to comment on the issues that have now engulfed the AFC.
Firstly, the leadership of the party showed no concern when it received the emails from Mr. Yusuf. Had they acted immediately and with fairness to each party, this conflagration would not have erupted. To add salt to the wound, I was surprised to read that the leader asked “How much did Yusuf contribute?”  That is baseless, contemptuous and insulting. If someone donates one thousand dollars and another one million dollars, the latter, according to the leader of AFC is better in his eyes.

Secondly, on the issue of transparency and accountability,there is a voucher system that could have been used. The honourable MP has made puerile attempts to explain his inadequacies. Everyone knows that you do not have receipts at the market. His response was that he had about 40 persons on staff. Simple mathematics-40 x 1000= 40,000 per day. Multiply that by 30 days = $1,200,000. Add his groceries and for argument sake add another million. That would be $2,200,000. Boy this man is claiming $4.5 million. I would like him to read Uttara Kand in the Ramayan and MAHABHARAT. He claims to be a Hindu. Let me enlighten this goodly man that: “Action thy duty, reward not thy concern.” Yet, on Issues of the People, he continues to expound on his achievements. This is ego because of his use of “I”. He displays AHANGKAR. Come off the high horse Mr. MP!

Next, did you advertise the position in the office? Kindly, gentlemen and ladies of the executives of AFC, do not attack the messenger; rebut the information and let Guyana know the truth. Kindly remind yourselves about the character of VALMIKI before he became a pious man. On Saturday May 12 on the programme, a certain gentleman requested a debate with Mr. Leslie Ramsammy. Would the MP from the AFC be willing to debate Mr. Yusuf? Kindly do not talk about qualifications because you assault the Queen’s English on a continuous basis.

Lastly, do not feel that you alone worked fo the AFC, hundreds if not thousands did it in homes, workplaces, markets, shops, etc.

In conclusion, I wish that this matter be amicably resolved and you gentlemen can stop throwing stones at each other. Guyana needs unity, love, understanding and co-operation. Please Mr. Ramjattan, act quickly or the AFC would be lost in oblivion.
