The party led by Gerald Pereira said it will not be contesting for the presidency because it will be supporting the APNU+AFC party in the general elections.

Lenox Shuman of the Liberty and Justice Party (LJP) was grilled about dual citizenship, namely his Canadian citizenship, which he claims to have already sorted out.
Shuman said that he already made the formal application to have his citizenship relinquished, and that that was sorted out since December last.

Representing the Guyana National Service Party (GNS) was Oral Semple. He claims to have stood outside alone all afternoon. He told media operatives he is not the party ‘s leader. That person is Arthur Fredericks, he said.
He was lone representative of his party at Nomination Day since according to him, the rest of his party was at work and could not make it.

Like it or not, Guyana has two parties, the PPP and the evil PNC. All the others are just fooling themselves. The AFC was on the verge of becoming a major party but they foolishly submitted themselves to the PNC slaughter house.

He is still a Canadian citizen.  Application was filed.  But renunciation certificate was not produced to GECOM.  If he doesn’t get it soon he will have to come off the ballot.  This guy is playing games.

Looks like D2 will take over the party if Shuman doesn't get his act together.

Only three of the 13 parties are contesting in all ten regions.  Essequibo is an interesting scenario.  The former AFC voters are likely to go to PPP, ANUG, and TNM.  Turhane Doerga is Dr. Asha Kissoon’s campaign advisor and he is locking down the rice belt voters for her.  She is young, smart, and energetic and is working hard on her campaign.

This is PPP vs PNC.  Everyone else just noise!

The sugar workers AFC supporters will return to the PPP. The more professional urban voters may stick with AFC or go ANUG or TNM and some return to PPP.

The Haitians will go AFC/PNC.

Don't forget the Cubans. PPP red.

There was some technicality with ANUG having signatures for all ten regions and FedUP only contesting in a few regions.  My understanding is that FedUp would not be contesting in the national elections, only in the regional elections.  

I suspect two or three more of the small parties will fall off the wagon before March 2.

Gud Gud,, He ripping of them rice farmers SOB.

The lives of over 50 rice farmers of Region Three (Essequibo Islands-West Demerara) are now hanging in the balance following the fraudulent activities of the Chairman of the Ruimzeigt Rice Industry Limited, who is also the director of some 28 other rice companies.
As such, the rice farmers from the West Coast and West Bank of Demerara, Essequibo, Leguan and Wakenaam on Tuesday joined hands as they picketed the Ruimzeigt Rice Industry Limited, West Coast Demerara (WCD) calling for Chairman Turhane Doerga to pay some $500 million owed to them.

So wait, ANUG campaign manager owe rice farmers some $ 500 million ? Who chose him as campaign manager and they are lobbying the rice farmers vote ?

What de rass happening here ?

…says protest action politically motivated

A NUMBER of rice farmers from the West Bank and West Coast of Demerara and Dr Turhane Doerga are at odds over outstanding payments for paddy supplied over a number of years, with the latter denying owing anyone of them “a single cent” and charging that protest action by the farmers are all politically motivated.

The farmers are accusing Dr Doerga of defaulting, but the businessman is denying the allegation being peddled against him, stating that the protest action is the work of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP). On Wednesday, approximately 14 rice farmers picketed the Rumzeight Rice Processors/Alesie Facility on the West Coast of Demerara on the basis that Dr Doerga allegedly owes them a collective sum of $31.8M. However, there is reportedly another rice farmer in Essequibo who claims that he is owed in excess of $50M.
Dr Doerga reportedly owns or is closely associated with the Rumzeight Rice

Processors/Alesie Facility, and the rice farmers are calling on government to seize the property until the monies are paid over to them. According to the farmers, Dr Doerga, who owns or is closely associated with approximately 28 rice mills or processing facilities across the country, initiated a number of purchases, many of which date back to 2016, and the paddies were supplied to either Ruimzeight Rice Processors or Associated Rice Exporters Inc as agreed, but to date they are still awaiting their payments.

Jeetlall Ramraj, a rice farmer for more than 20 years, said though the court has ordered Dr Doerga and four individuals and entities to disburse payments to the tune of $12.4M for paddy supplied, a payment is yet to be made.

Ramraj, who led the protest on Wednesday, said in 2015 he started to supply Rumzeight Rice Processors based on commitments made by Dr Doerga. “He asked me, he come beg me, he and his son was holding meetings with me on a daily basis and promised to pay me,” the rice farmer said.

According to Ramraj, an initial payment of $8M was made to him for dried paddy supplied but before he knew it, the Rumzeight Rice Processors Facility had in excess of $36M outstanding for parts of 2015 and all of 2016. “He always paid cash. He had this girl Latchmie, signing all the time for him but he ah personally draw the cash and bring it,” Ramraj recalled.

It is alleged that that Dr Doerga paid part of the money owed to Ramraj and had some $12.4M outstanding. The matter was taken to court.
According to a High Court document seen by the Guyana Chronicle, the court, which was presided over by Justice Simone Morris-Ramlall, ordered the defendants in the matter – Turhane Doerga (personally and in his capacity of Chairman of Alesie Group of companies), Vijay Doerga, Ruimzeight Rice Processors Inc., Ruimzeight Rice Industries Ltd., and Associated Rice Exporters Inc – to pay Ramraj $12, 478,129.57 ($12.4M) together with interest at the rate of 6 per cent per annum from July 4, 2017 to September 13, 2017 and thereafter at the rate of 4 per cent until fully paid. The defendants had not been present to present their case before the court. Judgment was on October 10, 2017.

I owe no one

But in an interview with the Guyana Chronicle, a few hours after Dr Doerga, who was backed by Jinnah Rahaman, denied the claims, stating that neither he nor Alesie owes anyone.

Referencing the court matter alluded to by Jeetlall Ramraj, Dr Doerga said there is a rehearing today (Thursday February 22). In defending his position, Dr Doerga posited that Jeetlall Ramraj, the rice farmer, did business with a manager of Ruimzeight Rice Processors Inc., but the deal went sour. “He went to court and without anybody being heard, how he did it we don’t know, we got a court ruling and that court ruling will be reheard tomorrow,”

Dr Doerga said
Maintaining that he does not owe anyone, Dr Doerga said there are 22 rice farmers who are claiming to be owed by Ruimzeight Rice Processors Inc. The Ruimzeight Mill is owned by the Alesie Group, for which he (Dr Doerga) is a co-owner. According to him, the mill was closed more than one year ago, and is now being rented to a group of processors. “I put in some money in that but I lost all that money,” he posited.

Dr Doerga said he should be made to pay monies allegedly owed by companies that rent the facility at Ruimzeight. According to him, the rice farmers were set up by the PPP to bring his name into disrepute over their loss of the 2015 General and Regional Elections.
“Each one of them which is there are members of the PPP…it is a political matter. Mr Seeraj said…we owed a $100M, he is confusing that with a $100M he stole from GRDA, and is not paying it back,” Dr. Doerga alleged.

He said rice farmers should follow in the footsteps of Jeetlall Ramraj and take their concerns to court. However, he is maintaining that neither he nor Alesie owes anyone and all debts have been cleared. “It is said that Turhane Doerga owes, Turhane Doerga owes nobody a cent. Alesie left this shore a long time ago and owes nobody a cent, we paid all our bills. The properties are rented to companies and those companies do business, and if they don’t pay their bills, that is their story,” he maintained.

Meanwhile, Kawall Ramraj a rice farmer, also claimed that he has been doing business with Dr. Doerga for more than 20 years, but the payments were never consistent. “This man begged me for my paddy in 2016 and meh bring meh paddy and meh give am, and this man promise me to pay meh by the 15th November, 2016, by the 15th November, he close up this place and go ah Suriname,” Kawall Ramraj contended. PPP member Dharamkumar Seeraj, who was identified as the farmers’ representative, had joined the protest and called on Dr Deorga to pay money reportedly owed.

Loks like Doerga is very untrustworthy. ANUG people need to answer for this. This is eye pass.

Dave , I can't recall exactly , the silos was sold under Hoyte time. Me thinks Doerga have Surinamese links.

I like Dr. Kissoon but I think she is better served expanding her medical portfolio and resume rather than get into politics at such a young age. Especially when this elections will be one of PPP vs PNC. The smaller parties will kick up some dust but enough to cause any real effect.
