Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo is claiming that a Government Minister is cashing in on millions of dollars on a Guyana Power and Light (GPL) contract that was awarded for rehabilitative works on the company’s distribution network.
have awarded it for – a substantial sum. And we heard that the GPL money is being used for all sorts of things,” the Opposition Leader told reporters during a press conference at his Church Street, Georgetown office on Wednesday.
In response, however, the Chairman of the power company merely said “…GPL has achieved a significant improvement in its financial position.”
The Prime Minister is deceiving and misleading

Dear Editor,
Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo at the Oil & Gas Conference said his administration is “uncompromising about malfeasance and sleaze in public office” but if you investigate the Prime Minister’s track record you can only conclude he was engaging in sheer blasphemy. When Sussex Street Bond Gate can happen under your watch and you are still paying that contractor for a contract that unethically attempts to make evil into good, or the Durban Park Project, where some G$700 million blatantly drained from the Treasury into private pockets for work not done and you jump up on stage and attempt to tell the nation about malfeasance and sleaze, you either have to be delusional, grossly misleading or downright mischievous.
When the party to which Mr. Nagamootoo can stand on that stage and talk about malfeasance and sleaze but the party to which he belongs has just whitewashed, even more, evidence of malfeasance and sleaze under that G$605 million medical supplies control, you know that the national will has no choice but to galvanize against such abomination.
Listening to that speech by the Prime Minister at the GOGA Conference will leave any right minded thinker nonplussed and bewildered because of its foundation in confounded deceit and deception. This speech is entitled to so much moral weight as would be the judgment of a band of high school miscreants and illustrate that the Hon. Prime Minister is prepared to forfeiture any stature formerly associated with former Prime Ministers of Guyana such as Hugh Desmond Hoyte and Sam Hinds, men of some level of honesty and integrity. Shame on you Moses Nagamootoo for converting a Tamil Tiger into a Sophia Poodle!
