The voters in Guyana perhaps are fed up. And the majority doan know who Moses is. On the Corentyne they may know of him. I am would think at least 80% of the ppl doan know him. Suh, how can he win an election.
Siggy, you're mistaken. Even before PPP got into government in 1992, Moses Nagamootoo was well known not only in Berbice but also in Demerara and Essequibo.
First, Moses used to write in the Mirror newspaper which PPP volunteers and vendors sold in all three counties.
Second, Moses used to enthrall people at public meetings all those places. One time I heard Jagan say Moses could sell ice in Iceland. Indeed, Moses is a charmer with excellent public speaking skills.
Mind you, Siggy, those were pre-TV days. If Moses was well known then, imagine how much more he is known now with access to TV, radio and newspaper coverage. And, don't underestimate his court performances as a lawyer. I understand he has lots of fans through his court appearances outside Georgetown.
My drive is not only make comments on this BB. I WANT TO SEE A CHANGE IN THE GOVERNMENT.
Maybe Jagan carried Moses. Indoes are noted for clapping for anything Cheddie endorsed back then. Even if he placed a Jackass.
I doan want to move only indoes to vote for an indian person. I want a cross section of Guyanese to vote for sound leadership.
Moses has said nothing so far.
What he said and wrote in the past was for the Jagans. He never said anything for Guyanese.
The most horrendous thing the man did was to vote yes for Jagdeo's benefit package. He has no love for the people of Guyana.
Moses couldn't vote NO. He was a PPP parliamentarian at that time and had to vote with the entire PPP caucus. Collective responsibility and party discipline. In fairness to him, he did speak out against Jagdeo's pension package at the PPP Exco. But, democratic centralism dictates that the minority must abide by the majority after a decision is taken. The PPP decided to vote YES and Moses had to comply.
As a rule, there is no conscience vote in the Guyana parliament.
