Jagdeo increased his own salary approx 500% in 5 years
JORDAN UNMASKS JAGDEO
- leaves Opposition Leader naked before the nation
Ever since the Coalition Government was elected to office the Hon. Opposition Leader has been launching a relentless attack on Minister of Finance Winston Jordan, a man with whom he worked and whose advice he sought when he (Jagdeo) was Minister of Finance.
Minister Jordan has been treating him with kid's gloves and had been reluctant to respond in full measure, perhaps this was as a result of a genuine feeling of camaraderie for an old colleague.
Today, in his Budget 2017 debate presentation Mr. Jagdeo once again went after Minister Jordan.
In wrapping up the debate, Minister Jordan was lethal and ruthless in his rebuttal.
He laid the facts before the nation. Minister Jordan said that based on Mr. Jagdeo's record, he found it laughable that Mr. Jagdeo was setting himself up as a champion of poor people.
Minister Jordan made the explosive revelation that Mr. Jagdeo, while President of Guyana, in five years (between 2006 and 2011) increased his own salary by 500%. Mr. Jagdeo increased his own salary from $223,783 to $1,304,503.
Minister Jordan also recalled that during this five year period the minimum wage was increased by a paltry 37%.
Mr. Jagdeo is now shedding crocodile tears pretending to be a champion for the cause of poor people.
Mr. Jordan revealed much more which underscores the duplicity of the Hon. Opposition Leader. Stay tuned.
