Alliance for Change (AFC) chairman Nigel Hughes in response to a poster on his Facebook page announced his exit from local politics. “My time in politics has been brief and is now over,” Hughes wrote in response to a poster who wrote calling on him to apologise following a recent revelation of his involvement with the Amaila Hydro Porject which his party had initially opposed.

“I was privileged to have been afforded an opportunity to have contributed to the struggle of Guyanese for a better Guyana, whether Linden, Cotton Tree, Agricola, Red Village, Marudi etc. My commitment to the poor and powerless preceded my entry into politics and will survive my departure from it,” he said in the post.

Hughes' short stay in politics has been marred with controversy. He was accused of  encouraging violent protests at Agricola after the passing of an ultimatum he issued to the government. He is known for his hate filled speeches which appeal to ethnic  sensitivities.

With lawyers you have to get down to specifics. So here are two questions. Has he resigned from both the AFC permanently? And, has he resigned from the Chairmanship of the AFC permanently?

Justice Navindra Singh this morning banned the foreman of the jury in the recently concluded Lusignan massacre trial because he did not disclose to the court that he had a lawyer-client relationship with one of the attorneys-at-law, Nigel Hughes, who had represented one of the two accused who were subsequently found not guilty.

Justice Singh today called the foreman, Vernon Griffith, up before him and asked him if he had ever had a case before the court and after hesitating he replied in the affirmative. Asked by the judge who was the lawyer, the man said he was represented by two lawyers from Hughes, Fields & Stoby, a female and he thinks the other person was  Hughes.

The judge then informed him that he had his case file before him and  Hughes was indeed his lawyer in the court.

The judge then pointed out to him that the court had specifically asked members of the jury if they had any connection with the defence or the prosecution they should inform the court. He asked Griffith why he did not inform the court that Hughes was his lawyer for six years.......

It appears Nigel Hughes isn't a Sunday School Boy after all....

This exposes what i have been saying all along. Regardless of political affiliation, all politicians in Guyana are corrupt by token of them being Guyanese. The pedophile gang on this board may try to sell the AFC as the best thing since slice bread. But they are all opportunists. Nigel tried to play both side of the coin and end up losing corn and husk. None of these folks are immune from the tentacles of corruption. Nagamootoo and Ramjattan squatted in the PPP for decades and only after soup stop flowing they developed a conscience. They are all crooks including those in the PPP. Ramoutar is piggybacking on Jagdeo's initiatives, I stated that he was not the man for the job and it shows in failure after failure.

And yet you praise Jagdeo who is the most corrupt of them all.

 

Willing to bet that Nigel Hughes is poorer than Jagdeo even though he became involved in politics AFTER he had opportunities to make money from his legal practise and also coming from a wealthy family.

 

Jagdeo was dirt poor.  Only worked for govt, earning moderate salaries, and yet left politics as a multi millionaire.  How is that?  Even the presidential salary doesnt allow one to accomplish this.

Now Now Nigel!! Those in Glass Houses.....

Evidence Tampering:
You tampered with evidence, when you took the surveillance tape from the scene of the murder of Brian Hamilton.

Conflict of Interest:
You never disclosed to Khemraj and the AFC supporters that you were the secretary of AFHI, whilst your wife a AFC MP is the PR of Sithe Global.

Jury Tampering
You successfully defended the Lusignan Murderer, whilst your client of six years was the Jury Foreman .

Khemraj, Gerhard and the rest. Please explain!
