—party affiliate had boasted of plans to have truck load of money on Nomination Day

POLICE were forced to step in on Tuesday to quell the situation at the Square of the Revolution, where scores of persons showed up to receive payments after being a part of the Nomination Day parade with US-sanctioned Azruddin Mohamed’s We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) on Monday.

In a video which was widely circulated on Facebook, disgruntled persons could be heard saying, “the scrapes want they money.”

Bradley Sampson widely known as “Doggie”, who is part of the WIN campaign team and a close associate of Mohamed, had posted on his Facebook page that persons who worked on the water trucks should turn up at the Square of the Revolution for payments.

While he claimed that the payment was for “work,” persons, a large number of whom were women, turned up, in some cases with WIN-branded outfits, to collect what was owed to them.

Sampson, in a live broadcast prior to Nomination Day, had said that they would have had a truck load of money on Monday.

“My boss is a billionaire,” he said, adding: “Monday, we have a truck load of money… we gonna show you what is big boy.

“Guyanese people show up… that’s all you gotta be, right there,” Sampson, who was wearing WIN-branded attire, had said during his broadcast on Facebook.

Sampson claimed that the party has lots in store for Guyanese, however, Mohamed and members of his party failed to present a single plan or policy for the development of Guyana, on Monday.

Despite several questions from the media, Mohamed, although claiming his party has a manifesto, did not speak on a single plan or policy that the party plans to present to the electorate.

“Very shortly and soon” were the only words he used in response to almost all of the direct, basic questions which were related to his plans for the country’s development and the progress of Guyanese.
