I repeat; this man is the world’s most unacceptable politician

February 5, 2013 | By | Filed Under Features / Columnists, Freddie Kissoon 

Ten months ago (Friday, April 27, 2012) the title of my column was; “This man is the most comical politician in the world.” I was referring to PPP Parliamentarian, Neend Kumar. I ended that article with the following words, “If President Ramotar does not fire Kumar then I am saying he is just as ridiculous as Kumar is.”
Let us see if Ramotar is going to remove Kumar this time over what is obviously a massive display of ignorance that must bring Ramotar and his government into disrepute.
Guyanese are laughing at Kumar. If Ramotar doesn’t act, they will laugh at him too. Mind you; Kumar is not only a Parliamentarian but President Cheddi Jagan appointed him Director of Sports twenty-one years ago
I have done three articles on Kumar in the past, two on his total ignorance on swimming pool usage by the public in Guyana, then another one on the unspeakable words he said about Moses Nagamootoo in Parliament after the upheaval in Agricola last year.
Given those horrible words (unfortunately broadcast by one of the television newscasts), I don’t believe Nagamootoo could ever coexist with Kumar even if Guyana achieves power-sharing in the future.
I always tell my friends that when I think of the mediocrity of Kumar and Bharrat Jagdeo, I am a lucky human being. To think that sports personalities in this country have to work under Kumar. How can any sports achiever stand Kumar? How could high-ranking officials in the public sector have accepted Bharrat Jagdeo as their boss?
As President of Guyana, Jagdeo had jurisdiction over my work place, the University of Guyana, therefore he had legal authority to speak to me but Jagdeo knew better. He knew that he couldn’t dare speak to me directly or summon me to his office.
So what is again horrible about Kumar (Dear Clive Lloyd; do you relate to this man?) I did not know that in the Chronicle, Kumar said such a terrible thing that may have caused the world to laugh at us because I do not read the Chronicle, even the online edition.
I swear on my parents that I do not read the Chronicle and the Guyana Times. Recently I asked Adam Harris and Nigel Mc Kenzie if it was true about what I heard; the Guyana Times had printed a story on Glenn Lall, the publisher of this paper.
In the two independent dailies of Sunday, February 3, APNU Parliamentarian, Ronald Bulkan informed readers that Neil Kumar referred to the ABC countries as Argentina, Brazil and Chile with regards to the call of the ambassadors of those three countries for local government elections.
I went to the Chronicle to see if Mr. Bulkan had misrepresented Kumar. I wasn’t shocked given what I knew of Kumar.
I was laughing as I read it. Kumar indeed referred to the statement on local government elections in Guyana by the ABC countries and named them as Argentina, Brazil and Chile.
What appalling ignorance. When people in Guyana refer to the ABC countries they mean America, Britain and Canada.
This reference was coined since 1990 when the ambassadors of America, Britain and Canada were instrumental in putting pressure on President Desmond Hoyte to hold free and fair elections. For almost twenty-three years, the politicians, press and other people in Guyana, made references to the envoys of the ABC countries. Yet Kumar did not know which countries ABC meant.
It is unforgivable ignorance to just at random say it means Argentina, Brazil and Chile.
Where was Kumar since 1990? And why didn’t Chronicle take out that section from the online edition of the newspaper after Bulkan alerted us? Surely, when online readers see what came out of the mouth of Kumar they will laugh at the PPP. But come to think of it, even the Chronicle’s editor didn’t know which countries are referred to as the ABC States.
Of course even Kumar’s PPP colleagues did not know he made a comic of himself because if they did, they probably would have pulled that section out of the online Chronicle.
The reason is, of course, that they don’t read the Chronicle themselves. Remember the goat man didn’t know that Dominica and the Dominican Republic are two different countries.
Look at how many more stupid things the goat man did. If Ramotar does not dismiss Kumar, then surely goat bite Ramotar too.
