On point ,except the wrong parties are blamed , the reasons are to cover their front man ,who is the true dictator ,quite cunning !!!!
When a dedicated politician sees the truth and turns against the coalition, it speaks volumes. Since that date, people can see why, rather than to be told why. Progress was stagnant. Criminals were let loose. Thousands of Guyanese were laid off. Factories were close down. Money was taken away from school children. The country was painted in Green and Yellow. Granger's face was everywhere. You could smell dictatorship from a known Indo-racist according to an American cable released.
This man did the unthinkable and stood up against the coalition and said, yes, yes, yes, get these bald-head friggers out-ah-yaa.
OUR HERO . HE MEK THEM GADAHAS HALLA LAKA PIG: NO CHARAN NO, OW CHARAN SAY YES NAH ME GUN LICK YUH BANGAROO
God bless Charrandas for voting against the criminal Coalition in that NCM. If he was indeed paid a million dollars for that vote, he was paid too little because his vote paved the way for the removal of the PNC dictatorship that began brewing behind the scene when Granger unilaterally appointed Patterson to bring back Burnham style despotic rule. It is good that Guyana is now in the hands of the only party that has always respected democracy and the rule of law.
What became of the charges of Mustapha's wife slapping Charrandas at a PPP meeting in Canje. Where Charrandas was mouthing off opposing comments at a PPP public meeting ? Now partners and crooked like hell.
Mustapha is liar and a crook. Many believe that he world make a threating remark [to Charrasdas] and later lie about it. In another occasion, he told the police to seize a camera, when a photographer he did not know, was photographing Rohee.
Just like the last times, most in the PPP will become richer from corruption, after the PPP term in office. While the PPP voters lives don't change much.
Charrandass Persaud (third from left) with Speaker Manzoor Nadir (second from left) and government parliamentarians yesterday.
December 24 ,2020
Former APNU+AFC Parliamentarian Charrandass Persaud was yesterday welcomed as an observer at the 14th Sitting of the 12th Parliament hours after members of the Opposition berated him for daring to show his face.
âI would like to acknowledge the presence of former member Charrandass Persaud who should feel very protected in this building,â Speaker Manzoor Nadir announced amidst a debate on a motion to manage the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Speakerâs comment was a clear reference to a verbal altercation between Persaud and Opposition APNU+AFC Parliamentarians including Sherod Duncan and former Minister Annette Ferguson.
Persaudâs vote for a PPP/C motion of no-confidence on December 21, 2018 had brought down the APNU+AFC government.
During the confrontation which was observed by Stabroek News, Duncan told Persaud that he should be ashamed of himself.
âYou sat there until it no longer suited your purpose. You didnât care about anybody else. It was shameful. I am saying it was shameful and I donât care who you go and talk to about what I say it will still be shameful,â Duncan said to his former party member as Persaud stood behind several members of the Guyana Police Force (GPC).
Reminded that his behaviour was unbecoming of his position as a Parliamentarian, Duncan maintained that he did not care how it look.
âThey dismissing hundreds of people and donât care that it look bad so I donât care that this looks bad,â he declared.
It is not clear what prompted the altercation but Persaud had been observed at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre (ACCC) since before the commencement of the sitting.
Stabroek News observed him entering and exiting the washroom on the second level in close proximity to the room being used as a lounge for Opposition members. At that time, though several members were in the vicinity none approached or acknowledged their former colleague.
It was just after the lunch break as Persaud exited yet another washroom, this time on the ground floor that members voiced their objections to his presence.
In a blistering tirade, Ferguson declared that God would handle Persaud for his sins while Duncan refused to comply with requests that he walk away.
Persaud eventually left the building and returned with an armed guard who was told he would need to lodge his firearm before he entered the building.
Again it is not clear why Persaud was present at the sitting since COVID-19 protocols implemented by Parliament Office have not made provisions for the attendance of the General Public.
Despite this, Minister within the Office of the Prime Minister Kwame McCoy applied to the Speaker to offer Persaud a personal commitment to his personal safety as a former Member of Parliament visiting the National Assembly.
âI understand that Mr Charrandass Persaud was vehemently verbally assaulted, along with finger-pointing, at the resumption in the lobby of the ACCC, by MPs Ferguson, (Jermaine) Figueira and Duncan. The COVID-19 social distancing was breached and Mr Persaud had to retreat into the area occupied by the police to stave off the assault. It was said to be loud and very unseemly. Mr Speaker, beyond the perceived lack of alacrity by the police, I hope you can remind all members of the behaviour expected in the precincts of the building when the parliament is in session,â he said in his appeal.
Nadir duly offered the requested assurance which was later criticized by APNU+AFC as a sign of partiality.
âHis comments today that Charrandass Persaud is welcomed in the National Assembly is cause for concern. Persaud is a member of the public just like any other citizen of Guyana. He is not entitled to special treatment nor does he enjoy any privileges in relation to the National Assembly. It is to be recalled that the courts declared Persaudâs membership of the Assembly an illegality, therefore the basis upon which the Nadir has laid out this red carpet welcome is unclear,â APNU+AFC said in a statement.
Persaud has been persona non grata to APNU+AFC since his affirmative vote on the No Confidence Motion in December 2018.
Initially he fled Guyana for Canada as he said his life was in danger. He returned to the country earlier this year but had kept a low profile until yesterday.
Charandass Persaud's visit to Parliament was a provocation. He is an idiot and deserves to have his ears boxed.

Speaker of the House Manzoor Nadir add fuel to the fire.

Small man Duncan got alot of spunk in him. One day someone will drop a bunch of licks in him.
Why is Charrandas back in Guyana risking his life? That is a racist shithole dangerous frontier failed State.
That is what happens when people get misguided. Charrandas fell for the AFC Kool-Aid and behaved unruly at a function but he just couldn't stand the PNC stench so he quickly tried to separate himself from the Coalition as the PNC stench was quickly infecting the immunodeficient AFC. It is good for him that he came to his senses when he did. His act saved the entire nation from the crooked PNC and it's supporters.
If a PPP member crossed the Jagdeo PPP and acted like Charrandas, chances they might suffered the ultimate consequence.
But Charrandas hypocritical action resulted in him being a bigger rotting stench with others in the PPP. By joining their band of arrogance, nastiness and vindictiveness.
The prodigal son returns to open arms. Who previously did not even want to be see with a PPP member and lose clients who were associated with the PPP.
Its a matter of time, before he also is no longer useful to the PPP and kicked to the curb.
Some Indians are the scourge of the earth.
