The PPP purchased 30 Mercedes Benz  ( creating a luxury car dealer of Vishal Persaud in the process) to transport guests to the World Cup matches and when that was over they were handed over to the Vishal again to resell. Now that is misuse of the state funds for vehicles if ever there were one!

 

Is nagamotto decides to procure a luxury vehicle despite the availability of good functional vehicles formerly used by our prime minister, then he is being a dick no less than the PPP. However, I need to hear their explanation for this.

What the Guyana Times forgot to mention is that the money which was allocated to buy a vehicle for the office of the Prime Minister was hijacked by Ashni Singh so he could purchase a luxury vehicle for himself. The vehicle bought for Singh has not yet been returned to the Government.

Former Minister “hijacked” $23M to buy high-end vehicle for himself – PM Nagamootoo

There has been much hullabaloo, particularly from the political opposition, regarding the sum of $22M which has been allocated to purchase a four-wheel drive Sports Utility Vehicle for Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo.

But Nagamootoo says that the opposition’s derogatory comments since the revelation of the allocation are nothing but “political hate.”  He said that it is obvious however that the PPP is oblivious to its own “dirty laundry.”
The First Vice President said that had an allocation in 2014 not been mishandled by the former Finance Minister, Dr. Ashni Singh, there would be no need to set aside more money for the said vehicle.
In the 2014 budget, $23 million was allocated by the previous administration for the procurement of a high-end Land Cruiser for then Prime Minister Samuel Hinds.
“But it was not used for that purpose. It was hijacked by the former Finance Minister and a vehicle was bought for him. Now where is that exotic high end vehicle,” the Prime Minister questioned.
He continued, “We want to know why it was not delivered to us, and it is because of that missing vehicle that led to my advisors asking for another vehicle to be bought. Sam Hinds complained of the aged vehicles bought for his use.”
The Vice President said that the four-wheel drive vehicle is a “necessity” if he is expected to carry out his work properly.
“You need this kind of vehicle if you want to go into the countryside. My little grey vehicle could hardly go over a normal speed bump. It grazes at the bottom and I am the Prime Minister. I need to go to the rice farmers and the cane cutters and I can’t use that little grey car they gave me,” added Nagamootoo.
As for the scoffs from the opposition’s camp, he said that he is the least bothered by it and deemed it to be just another part of “their political ploy.”
He went as far as to say that it is the “politics of deception” as the PPP “only intends to do whatever it takes to shift the focus away from its maladministration in any way it can.”
During the deliberations over the 2015 estimates, it was disclosed to the National Assembly that, between 2012 and 2014, almost $50M was voted by the past administration to purchase vehicles for the Office of the Prime Minister.
However, when the party demitted office, only eight old, reconditioned vehicles were recovered.

LIE, LIE LIE!

ravi dev will die with his eyes open and a bald head.  How come he lies so much.

Agreed that the Vehicle Purchased and was used by Ashni Singh, was supposed to be returned when the PNC/AFC took over the government.

Failing to do so, they should have hauled his arse to the court. 

 

 

Ashni has returned the vehicle.  

I thought the Treasury was EMPTY!  What a bunch of DUMMIES that were preaching CHANGE!!  Some Guyanese are so STUPID it is difficult to find a word to describe them!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People in government will tell you one thing and do the opposite when they're elected. You can bang your head against a wall with disgust while they will still be cruising around in their multimillion dollars SUV's. You can never depend on government for full accountability. I personally can give in to the luxury lifestyle of government ministers if their service to the country can be commended.

The treasury is so empty that the current government ministers are digging the hole much deeper rather than working with what they currently have on hand.

 

Plus as noted in the news, they will also receive a whopping increase in salary.

He gave only 600 Guyana dollars per year to pensioners and took back 1700  thru taxes.

 

TK and other AFCites must be proud of their Coolie bully Leader.

I think the come Guyanese include you!

Its no wonder the new government has to buy new vehicles, when the last government ministers thief the government vehicles and put it in their own and family name.

When is Ashni Singh going to return the $23M  high end vehicle he thief from the people of Guyana ?   

They need to sent the police after it. That is what you do when someone illegally possess state assets. This government has to show its teeth and stop being softies with the PPP.

When the government goes after these PPP thieves you read that Indos are being victimized.

Naga pun top. more to come. 

Ramjattan will have to put him behind bars for misusing his powers as the PM and usurping the tax payers money.   The Judas chastise Jagdeo for his life style and now he is trying to out do the former chief of staff.
