THE AFC Leadership has once again displayed its innate propensity to make lying and deceitful statements to the media in its bid for vengeance against me.The AFC Leadership states in its press release that I have been notified by way of letter that ‘a motion of no confidence’ has been moved by five Region 6 Councillors against me. This is a blatant lie! Furthermore, none of those Councillors have called upon me to resign. However, I have said it before, when Ramjattan referred to me as ‘rogue councillor’ that he, Ramjattan, is a bigger rogue than I am since he held on for dear life to the Member of Parliament position when he was kicked out of the PPP/C and I WILL NOT RESIGN!
However, I will not resign for reasons which are quite different from his. I will not resign because the majority of Berbicians who unwittingly voted for the AFC in the 2011 General Election has full confidence in the stance I have taken. They have lost confidence in the AFC.
On ‘the Alliance on the Move’ programme on DTV 8 in Berbice, the AFC Member of Parliament, Ramayya lamented this fact when he morosely said that ‘sugar workers have betrayed the AFC.’ The people have moved a motion of ‘no confidence’ in the AFC and its leadership. I will therefore not resign since I am fulfilling the mandate of the people who voted for the AFC in Berbice and I am fulfilling my duties towards my country. I will not allow the AFC or APNU to destroy the social and economic development of my country.
Ramjattan should be more in touch with what is happening on the ground. The AFC support has drastically dwindled over the last two years and that downward spiral has become more pronounced since their last ‘scissoring’ of $ 37.4 billion from the 2014 budget. The AFC supporters never expected that the AFC will embrace the PNC in unholy matrimony and they are now making ‘the Right Turn.’
Lastly, the AFC stated I ‘do not represent the views of the AFC’. That is absolutely correct since the views of the AFC have now become the views of the PNC. The AFC is now completely divorced from the precepts on which it was founded and that is no big surprise since all the Region 6 Councillors were either former PNC or ROAR members.
I will continue to be the ‘thorn in the AFC’s posterior’ once they continue to stymie development in our dear land!
