What are truths? We may never know but here are some
Kaieteur News – True no. 1 – Gregory Smith hid an explosive mechanism in a walkie-talkie that exploded and killed Walter Rodney in the car with his brother, Donald, who nearly died. President Burnham then ordered Donald to be charged with possession of ammunition. He was sentenced to prison by PNC Magistrate Norma Jackman (deceased).
Donald’s appeal was not heard until 40 years after and he was acquitted last Tuesday. The appeal came up during the PPP government and Donald was represented by PPP senator attorney Sanjeev Datadin. When the WPA came into power as a government in 2015, it received requests from some diaspora academics who were friends with Walter Rodney to facilitate the withdrawal of the conviction through the AG writing a letter to the DPP.
WPA leaders like Drs. Donald Rodney is obliged to reveal the truth, Maurice Odle, Rupert Roopnaraine and Clive Thomas, Wasir Mohamed, Messrs Desmond Trotman and Tacuma Ogunseye and Ms Tabitha Sarabo-Halley, who drank in the power trough between May 2015 and July 2020. why the conviction was not quashed. The proposal was not put to Cabinet by WPA.
T2 – Christopher Ram wrote in June 13, 2020 in a newspaper letter that he was part of the WPA election campaign in 2015. He said, “WPA accepted the rejection of Roopnaraine’s appointment to the Ministry of the Environment on spectacular grounds. I know this because I witnessed those arguments. ”This is why Roopnaraine was removed.
A specific foreign adviser to the AFC with connections to the PNC leadership personally asked President Granger to assign another ministry to Roopnaraine. His reason was shocking. He said such an important ministry should go to African Guyanese and not East Indians whose loyalty to the PNC is not firm. AFC’s particular big wig conveyed this madness to the AFC leadership but the AFC failed to discipline its adviser because the AFC hated Roopnaraine.
T3 – The AFC signed the revised Cummingsburg Agreement weeks before the 2020 election, which included a clause stating that if there is a vacancy in the presidency, the AFC will ignore the constitution and not fill the presidency by the prime minister of the AFC. How do I know this? I saw the document.
T4 – If the APNU + AFC retained power in March 2020, the decision was made before the election to make Roysdale Ford the new Attorney General.
T5 – Throughout the 2020 APNU + AFC campaign, Khemraj Ramjattan and Moses Nagamootoo were not on speaking terms. Ramjattan felt very hurt that Nagamootoo had agreed to retain the PM post if they were returned to power when it was agreed well before 2020 that it was Ramjattan’s turn in 2020.
T6 – The PNC named five people who they suspected would have voted for the no confidence motion (NCM). All five were Indians. Two from the AFC and three from APNU. The names did not include Charrandass Persaud. PNC Chief Whip Amna Ally called an emergency meeting at the Office of the President and dressed down all APNU + AFC senators.
One of the three APNU personalities told me in a rendezvous one night at the back of the Giftland Mall that he was so annoyed that he suspected he had conveyed his anger to President Granger.
T7 – PNC hierarchy thought it would lose the NCM if it didn’t delete the five Indies. But the law says that only the list representative can ask the Speaker to dismiss a senator. Granger was not the list’s representative but Dr. Harold Lutchman. They could not find Lutchman at the time; it was not Guyana. For this reason Granger insisted in 2020 that he was the list’s representative.
T8 – Dr. Vincent Adams strongly disgusted with a leading African AFC leader who suggested during a swell meeting of the executive, when the election crisis was taking place, given all the racist lava that was spewing at that time, that both races should big share Guyana. So far the AFC has remained silent and the abusive, diabolical, fraudulent Ethnic Relations Commission has not asked the AFC for a response.
T9 – An African businessman, Guyanese, expressed a penetrating chagrin at Dr. Clive Thomas for paying millions every month to one of Guyana’s wealthiest families for housing the head office in SARA. I can remember him vividly saying to me, “Freddie, I’m a Black supporter of this government. I got a building that I can rent at a cheaper cost. What’s wrong with these people? ”
