I understand that, from the start, Dr Ramayya was not happy with the February 14 Cummingsburg Accord between APNU and the AFC. However, he was persuaded by the AFC executive committee to accept the deal and he campaigned for the coalition in Berbice with some reservation.
I also understand that the AFC made two offers to Dr Ramayya regarding placement in the coalition government but he declined both. One had to do with salary and benefits.
Personally, I know that Dr Ramayya was a livewire for the AFC in Berbice and I appreciate and respect that. However, if he is falling out with the party because of financial/occupational considerations I cannot be so sympathetic, honestly. One is expected to serve a cause, regardless of position or pay. I had served the PPP for over 20 years free of cost. The last six months of that time I worked at the Mirror newspaper for one-fourth of what I earned in my previous job. And when I resigned, it had nothing to do with salary. I wish Dr Ramayya well in whatever vocation he pursues hence.
