– his revelation is merely a verbal ‘coming out of the closet’ by a perverted presidential hopeful 

EXECUTIVE member of the Alliance For Change (AFC), Mr. Moses Nagamootoo last Tuesday made it pellucid that the AFC will collaborate with PNC/APNU and other bodies so inclined to remove the PPP/C Government.Many PPP supporters are expressing great concern that GECOM is one body so inclined, especially in view of reports that ballot boxes from 19 polling stations in a PPP/C stronghold were not counted during the last elections, along with other strategies allegedly used by GECOM officials – ejecting PPP/C officials and scrutineers from polling stations, for instance, and finagling with proxy votes by tricking senior citizens to vote for Opposition parties, etc., all tactics to, if not catapult

the PNC in Government, steal enough votes from the PPP/C to enable the joint Opposition to jointly achieve a majority in Parliament.
The catastrophic consequences of the 2011 elections to national development during the reconfigured composition of the Tenth Parliament has left this nation reeling, with its august National Assembly becoming a theatrical production house because of the unconscionable and irrational actions and utterances of the ‘leaders’ of the Opposition parties.
According to Eusi Kwayana, elder of the WPA clan, the late Walter Rodney never campaigned in PPP strongholds. Rodney respected Dr. Jagan and his unrelenting struggles to free the Guyanese people – first from the yoke of colonialism, then from the shackles of the dictatorship.
However, Nagamootoo and Ramjattan, lusting for power and burning with envy and hatred for their former comrades, had no such qualms and they deliberately played on the sentiments of PPP supporters – in and out of Guyana, with whom they had formed close ties, ironically as trusted ambassadors of PPP founders, Dr. and Mrs. Cheddi and Janet Jagan, to trick them of support in cash and/or kind.
They then turned around and, instead of becoming the axis of reason and rationality guiding national policy decisions, they instead handed over the votes of the PPP members who had trusted them to the hated PNC reconfigured as APNU.
While publicly denying the AFC’s intentions to form a coalition with APNU prior to the next elections, Ramjattan has indubitably been a partner of the PNC/APNU’s anti-developmental, destructive tactics; and the PPP listed them as, among others:

** AFC’s support of APNU to slash the national Budget every year since 2012, effectively denying Guyana and Guyanese of further developments;

** AFC’s support of the APNU to vote down the major transformational projects, such as the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) expansion and the Amaila Falls Hydro-power (AFHP) project, the latter being seen as critical to the provision of cheaper energy and the development of a highly productive manufacturing sector;
** AFC working with APNU to block funding for a number of Government programmes including the $1B Amerindian Development Fund (ADF) and $450M for loan subventions to University of Guyana (UG) students; and
** AFC and APNU working together to vote down critical pieces of legislations that are important to national development.
These legislations include: the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (Amendment) Bill and the Customs Amendment Act. The latter was voted down by the APNU with the support of AFC.
The Government had re-tabled the Customs (Amendment) Bill which, if passed, would have seen companies both local and foreign paying taxes on non-returnable containers of alcoholic or non-alcoholic items. The defeat of this Act resulted in the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) giving a ruling in which Guyana had to repay Suriname-based beverage company Rudisa, US$6M.”
The official added that the other examples of the AFC/APNU ‘partnership’ are clearly documented and are matters of public record, with the sponsorship of their infamous ‘no-confidence’ motion being the most heinous of all the destructive acts they have perpetrated against this nation.
Despite Ramjattan’s denials, which he clearly stated was because he did not want to alienate the AFC’s PNC-hating supporters, AFC Chairman, Nigel Hughes, made it clear at a PNC/APNU-sponsored rally that the AFC would join with the APNU in a broad-based political movement.
Hughes stated intentions of the AFC was further endorsed by Moses Nagamootoo, who said: “We have decided to work with APNU and all other patriotic, political, business, labour, religious, human rights, women, youth…in a broad fight against the PPP minority regime.”
However, this is not a new revelation, merely a verbal ‘coming out of the closet’ of perverted presidential hopefuls who were thwarted in their ambitious forays by the PPP leadership and are hellbent on taking revenge, regardless that they are causing retrogression in Guyana’s developmental dynamics because the AFC has always worked in tandem with the PNC/APNU in collaborative endeavours to stymie, and even reverse the soico-economic gains in the country achieved by successive PPP/C Governments, with the people – even their own constituents, being “collateral damage’ to their gerrymandering.
