OK Folks:
Recently President Ramotar was asked about Moses
Nagamootoo, a 50 year PPP member who bolted for the AFC just prior to the 2011 election.
These were President Ramotar's comments:
quote:
"Moses was a PPP stalwart. I always held him in high regard. He was an asset to our party. It was unfortunate that he left the party in anger and bitterness.
But what has been done cannot be undone. What I can say is the PPP is a big party and a big family, and comrade Moses would be welcomed back into the party anytime he chooses. We cannot afford to lose our stalwarts to the other political parties. No question our party lost thousands of votes in regions 5 and 6 because of comrade Moses departure.
I believe in forgiveness. I know the party is willing for forgive comrade Moses and I hope he can forgive us some day.
I am reminded of a quote by Mohandas Gandhi. He once said that "the weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is an attribute of the strong.
The PPP and comrade Moses must both engage in forgiveness. And like I said, comrade Moses is always welcome back home where he belongs."
Clearly Guyana's new president Donald Ramotar is a man of character, integrity, maturity and decency. He had some kind words for Mr. Nagamootoo.
Hope by the time the next election rolls around Moses Nagamootoo wisely returns to his true home.
