The Ministry of the Presidency’s Department of Social Cohesion today condemned well-known Guyanese chutney singer, Mahendra Ramkellawan for encouraging people to spit on two top government ministers.

The Social Cohesion Department says in a recent Social Media video, Mr. Ramkellawan called for acts of violence against Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo and Vice President Khemraj Ramjattan.

Social Cohesion Minister, Dr. George Norton notes that the singer’s call has been made even as the world grapples with the effects of the deadly COVID 19 pandemic. Mr. Ramkellawan in the video has volunteered to pay the $15,000 fine for anyone found guilty of spitting on Mr. Nagamootoo or Mr. Ramjattan.

“As an artiste, Mr. Ramkellawan has an important role to play in nation building, so for him to be using his platform to incite violence is undoubtedly despicable,” the Minister of Social Cohesion said.

“Mr. Ramkellawan should be promoting harmony and using his popularity to inspire our young people. Of course, it is okay to have strong political views, but regardless of his political persuasion, inciting violence is reckless and uncalled for,” Dr. Norton added.

Dr. Norton is encouraging all Guyanese to act responsibly during this tense political period. Mr. Ramkellawan has been on Facebook calling on the David Granger-led coalition to leave office.

Minister Norton who also holds responsibility for Culture, Youth and Sport believes that Chutney music is a particular genre of music that brings people together in celebration.

“Chutney artistes therefore have a responsibility to use their platform to do just that, not segregate people and provoke violence and crime,” Minister Norton added.

Dr. Norton is encouraging all Guyanese to act responsibly during this tense political period.

“It is okay to have political disagreements. What is not okay is allowing our political disagreements to eat away at our humanity. We can do better; we must do better,” Dr. Norton noted.

I agree that spitting on anyone especially as this global pandemic rages on is unacceptable. I am hoping that Dr. Norton can condemn Granger and his rigging cabal for raging their silent political violence against Guyana since the NCM with equal conviction.

I agree that the popular chutney singer said something wrong. I urge him to be circumspect in future.

At the same time I wish to ask: Isn't APNU+AFC obscenely spitting in the faces of hundreds of thousands of Guyanese and millions of the international community whose governments are demanding a GECOM declaration of the recount results? Grangerites refuse to heed and obdurately cling to power.

Are we going to continue to steal Trinidadian music and songs all the time?

@Former Member & @Former Member your comments on the Chutney singer are very insincere.

That's your opinion, Mits. Fact is, I am usually a fair person and don't hesitate to criticize my people when I think they say or do wrong. When I supported APNU+AFC I criticized their actions in this very Forum. You know that. 

Under any circumstances I don't spit on people and will never encourage it. Cultured and cultivated folks don't spit on people. The chutney singer should know better.

Norton, Moses and Rumjaat at this point of time are no longer government ministers, they are plain civilians and deserve no respect.If they wanted to be respected, well tell Rigadeer Granger to concede and to leave quietly, PNC lost the election by at least 15,000 votes. They are part of the BULLY Cabal of the PNC, shameless!

You have never been caught. All you can think about is wife-beating. You are not an intelligent person despite your academic qualifications. You are so delusional.

Ramkellawan, the man who sang about "Dem a watch you" or some crap like that was before the courts for beating his wife.  That is a fact you jackass.  Coolie people like to make degenerates their heroes.  What do you know about me or my qualifications and what does that have to do with your backwardness?

Look who talkin bout  stupid...the biggest chupidee jackass in all of Canada.  Kakakant(this is copyrighted) the dankey man form Brampton is a typical PPP antiman.  They are trained to call people names and tell lies so that Jagdeo and his cabal could live in Pradoville.  In the past some very decent people have been intimidated by these lowlife, low class people.  It is important that insignificant and pitiable as he is that people like Kakakant be punched every time they attempt their lies and asinities.  Remember that Kakakant is now copyrighted.  You may use it but must acknowledge the source.
