The nation was taken aback with Brassington produced copies of checks issued by NICIL to AFC's strongman, Moses Nagamotoo. No one in their wildest dreams ever thought the once respected political activist from the PPP would be involved in business as such. The controversial attorney, Nigel Hughes, has been a thorn in the side of those seeking justice in Guyana for biased-crimes against the Indo-population by Afro youths inspired by hate preachers like Roger More, Mark Benschop, and Ronald Waddell. Hughes uses his contacts in the courts and police to frustrate those seeking justice for some of the most heinous crimes ever committed against members of our society. The massacre at Lusignan and the senseless killings of Indians on the East Coast of Demerara received absolutely no comdemnation from this man that many call the "young Forbes Burnham." On the Contrary, he has been at the vocal and bold at defending those who committed crimes against those whom he view as pro-government. To add insult to injury, his wife, Cathy Hughes was involved in cashing on consultancy work for the Ameila Falls project while sponsoring parliament resolutions agains the same project. The Guyanese people watched their hypocrisy in disgust.
Today, another AFC leader, attorney-at-law Raphael Trotman, has been caught up in a shameful sex scandal involving a young lad which threatens to finish his career as a politician. If this is not enough the party's chief backer in the propaganda war, the KN, is now facing crediblity problems given the owner is now indicted in fraudulent business with duty free vehicles.
These are indeed hard times for the AFC. The party which performed well at the last elections is going through rough period and some even believe it will disintegrate. Defections are high and morale is low. A few propagandists firing on all pistons on a daily basis are having the opposite effect as people started to smell their agenda and are shying away. The party is finding itself more and more isolated. Dreams of replacing the PPP as fighting force has been dashed since they have erred and become part of APNU. Dreams of replacing the PNC is an illusion since the Ramjattans and the Nagas are seen as old timers who can never be truly trusted.
