‘I forgot some of the garbage in OP’- Bisessar
November 10, 2011 | By KNews.
Rajendra Bisessar, who left the incumbent People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) to join the Alliance for Change (AFC), said that the only mistake he made when he left the Office of the President was to forget to “take out all the garbage.”
Bisessar was once Jagdeo’s assistant, but on Tuesday, Jagdeo took to the campaign trail to berate Bisessar, calling him a “total waste”.
“He talks all the time. He prattles all the time. This is why I had to throw him out of the Office of the President… for laziness,” Jagdeo said of Bisessar.
The President said that Bisessar was not his advisor but that he was really “collecting garbage in the OP (Office of the President”).
Yesterday, Bisessar shot back. “I left some of the garbage in OP,” Bisessar said. “That’s the only mistake I made. I should have taken (calling name) and dumped him in the garbage too.”
Bisessar had said that he left the PPP/C following what he said was widespread, rampant and barefaced corruption in the ruling administration that caused him to jump ship and to identify with the standards of the AFC.
“Corruption has not only grown in magnitude, it has become qualitatively deeper…it has become barefaced…there is no shame. It is done blatantly, openly and it is embarrassing.”
Bisessar was a Central Committee member of the youth arm of the PPP and joined the party proper in 1980. He became a candidate member of the PPP Central Committee and was integrally involved with the strikes by bauxite and sugar-workers in 1989.
After the PPP took office in 1992, he worked as an advisor to the Minister of Human Services, then to the Minister of Labour and then served as a personal assistant to the President.
Bisessar said that when he started out his political career they sought to take on the dictatorial regime that had occupied the halls of power at the time but the party that he joined is a far cry from its former self.
He said that it was difficult for him to leave an organization in which he has spent so much of his life and had trusted and believed in.
Bisessar said that after the last general elections there was a dramatic turn for the worst for the country with the PPP/C at the helm.
