SPEAKER tolerates opposition’s lawlessness in Parliament: - Legal experts advised minister should be allowed to speak uninterrupted. Any surprise here? Hell no. Why? The Speaker of the House Raphael Trotman is AFC. He is in opposition to government who came from opposition PNC. If the PNCR charade to call on government to remove Clement Rohee continues in Parliament with the blessings of Speaker of the House, Raphael Trotman, then he Trotman himself must resign. Trotman had his chance to tame the PNC tempo or have the PNCR removed from Parliament so government can continue with the people's business and Trotman failed.
No one should ask if members of the AFC took part in drowning out Rohee in Parliament. Those who were there knew they were. Failure by the Speaker of the House,the AFC’s Trotman to rein in opposition antics in Parliament alone tells the big picture that the AFC are in cahoots with the PNCR in the streets and in Parliament. Yet again total silence from Ramjattan and Nagamoottoo! Will Ramjattan and Nagamoottoo go into the areas they grabbed all those votes last election and tell the people there that they are not in the PNCR camp?
Will Ramjattan and Nagamootoo also tell those who voted for them that they had nothing to do with them being beaten, injured robbed and terrorised on the Agricola public road? Next on the AFC’s agenda, which is now the total mouthpiece for the PNCR, will be the Timehri area illegal squatters.The AFC will create their next episode there just wait and see. Those who voted for the AFC must ask themselves if this is what they really voted for.
Ask themselves when last they heard of drop VAT to 10% and increase public servant wages by 20% or more and cut the Berbice Bridge into four pieces and fling it in the river. That was the AFC’s big campaign mojo during the last election. Where are the Sasenarine Singhs and the Tarron Khemrajes who were pushing the AFC agenda? Are they now too ashamed to speak out on their AFC joining at the hips with the PNC?
Or perhaps they too are sidelined and irrelevant to the AFC like those of Ramjattan and Nagamoottoo since Nigel Hughes took over their AFC? Are their memories that short that they forgot the race card that was played out by Raphael Trotman against Goomatie Singh in favour of Chantal Smith? Are their memories that short that it was the very own Raphael Trotman and his PNC cohorts masquerading as the AFC who tried to sideline Ramjattan on the leadership rotation basis? Ask what has the AFC done for you lately? |
