The hypocrisy of Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo

May 4, 2016 By Editor

Dear Editor, I have said it numerous times that the APNU/AFC Administration should remember that they have not been elected to serve a lifetime in office. One year is about to pass and four will remain at which time the people will go to the polls again. My question to PM Nagamootoo is this: what will he tell the people when he stands up at rallies begging for votes in 2020.During the course of campaigning before the May 2015 elections and even before that, Mr Nagamootoo tried to portray himself as a humble servant of the people. He spoke of PPP politicians wanting to live a “Cadillac lifestyle in a donkey-cart economy”. He spoke of the “fat cat” salaries being received by various members of the PPP party when they were in Government. Actually, I believe the PM was famous for coining these terms.

It is repulsive that this same individual upon ascending the office of Prime Minister proceeded to demand that same Cadillac lifestyle and “fat cat” salary. His first act in office as PM was to criticise the conditions of the PM’s residence. He was quoted as saying he would not let his dogs live there. He then demanded upgrades be done to the tune of millions of dollars before moving into the residence. Be reminded, Editor, this is the same residence the former PM under the PPP was living in with his family. The man then proceeded to make proposals for an increase in salary which would bring his salary to an excess of one million dollars excluding benefits. As if that was not enough, he wanted a brand new $22 million Land Cruiser and upgrades done to the roads and bridge leading to his private residence. The Land Cruiser was added to a fleet of more than 20 vehicles. When asked about it, he indicated that it will be used to reach out to the people who voted for him. As I listened to his response I wondered if he had lost his mind. Never in my life have I seen such blatant hypocrisy and greed. Mr Nagamootoo has betrayed his supporters and the Guyanese people.

 

He went into office and did the same things he accused his PPP counterparts of doing. Not only has the Prime Minister disgraced himself and his party and betrayed the Guyanese people but as Prime Minister, he has done nothing of substance and certainly nothing deserving of a salary increase. It would be wise for the new Government and the Prime Minister to remember that it is the people of Guyana who will judge them come 2020 and when they open their mouths and speak of donkey-cart economies and fat salaries, the Guyanese people will be reminded of their hypocrisy.

I urge the Prime Minister to stop dwelling on material stuff, fat salaries and shiny houses and start doing some work or his time in office as a member of Government will be short.

 

Regards, Tiana King-David

The hypocrisy of Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo,  May 4, 2016 By Editor

His answer ...

Ahhh, ummmm, blaah, blaaaah, blaaah.

He is going to weep to Berbicians and re-tell his stories of sufferings under the PNC and the personal sacrifices he made. The Berbicians gonna say "but you've added a new dimension to your political career which wiped out your great deeds of those bygone days. How can we trust you again with our votes?"

Billy Ram Balgobin

Slow but surely Moses is exposing himself as a bare faced liar of a politician. 

As in any democratic process, he has to face the people again.

Then again, will he run for political office again ?

The Prime Minister is these people’s target

MAY 7, 2016 | BY | FILED UNDER LETTERS 

Dear Editor,
It is not my orientation to give credence to the constant harangue of the Guyana Times and its surrogates within the Ramroop Media Group directed towards Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo and other well known select members of the Coalition Government’s Cabinet.
Permit me however, to make a rare exception on this occasion to respond to the falsehoods and misinformation contained in a letter penned by one “Tiana King-David”which appeared in the May 4th edition of the Guyana Times.
The falsehoods and misinformation contained in the “letter” have been relentlessly repeated by the PPP-aligned Guyana Times. The publication has dedicated a considerable amount of space and obvious time and effort towards perfecting the positioning of such misinformation in its onslaught directed towards the Prime Minister.
It can only be deduced that the publication and its handlers are of the conviction that the Prime Minister is such a high value political target that he must be constantly and uninterruptedly serviced with there energies and attention. When the attacks are not by way of “news articles”, editorials and columns they are by way of letters under dubious pseudonyms.
Therefore the Guyana Times’ neurotic preoccupation with the Prime Minister is instructive of the publication’s, and its backers’, view of the subject of its unrelenting idée fixe. These attacks are not coincidental or uncalculated, they are part of a well orchestrated opposition piloted plan to systematically pillage the reputation of the Prime Minister, and those of select other Cabinet colleagues of the democratically elected Coalition Government.
The facts are:
1. In 2014, under the then minority PPP government, the sum of GY$23M was voted for in the National Budget for the acquisition of a 4×4 vehicle for the then Prime Minister Mr. Samuel Hinds.
2. The records inherited by the Coalition Government show that that sum was instead used for the purchase of a vehicle which was assigned to the Ministry of Finance under then Minister of Finance, Dr. Ashni Singh. The legality and prudence of such an act is to be determined by those possessed of the expertise and authority to so do.
3. In the 2015 budget, the sum of GY$22m was allocated for the purchase of the vehicle for use by the Prime Minister. This was necessitated by the fact that the vehicle purchased in 2014 ended up not at the Office of the Prime Minister but at the Ministry of Finance.
4. The Prime Minister does not have “a fleet of more than 20 vehicles”. Any such claim, as was made by “Ms. King-David” is an untruth.
5. The Office of the Prime Minister has 11 vehicles in total. Four are assigned to the Prime Minister. Two of the four are used by security personnel.
6. Of the vehicles inherited from former Prime Minister Sam Hinds, several were found to have been malfunctioning and in very poor condition. On a recent trip the headlights on one of the inherited vehicles came loose and fell out. Another of the vehicles was in such poor condition that it encountered extreme difficulties in navigating the elevated section of the Berbice Bridge.
7. The official residence of the Prime Minister was received in a state of disrepair and not fit for human occupation. Remedial works are being completed. All of these works were executed in a transparent manner. Any imputation of an absence of accountability is without merit.
8. The Prime Minister’s salary was increased only marginally to take it above that of the Attorney General to correct an anomaly which existed under the PPP government. This was a virtual accounting increase, as, the fact is, the Honourable Attorney General’s take home salary (as that of his predecessor Mr. Anil Nandlall) is greater than that of the the Prime Minister.This is for the simple reason that the Prime Minister’s salary attracts the deduction of taxes while the AG’s does not.
These are the facts. The people of Guyana will determine what they deem to be the ulterior and/or barefaced agenda of Guyana Times and its surrogates.
The loose language, misinformation, skillful and selective use of cherry-picked bits of information while deliberately excluding other pertinent facts has become the trademark of the newspaper which styles itself as the Beacon of Truth.From the evidence of its content, along with its raw obsession with the Prime Minister,the Guyan Times may wish to consider whether it should not modify its slogan to‘Being of Untruth’.

So I guess what Imran Khan saying here is that everything Tiana King-David stated is correct.

Bibi and Rat are Special Persons...

 

5. The Office of the Prime Minister

has 11 vehicles in total.

Four are assigned to the Prime Minister.

Why doesn't the AG pay income taxes?

My Brother..... Kabaka wanted the Brightest and the Best as attorney General....he never settle for any simpleton or La-goo-ba-goo who will thief Govt money to buy lil Sperm.

So fatboy decided to pay for the Brightest and De Best....like SS Ramphal and Dr Sahabadeen..... and that was not a problem.

The Problem is when yuh want to pay Junkies like Nandalall and Ramson.

One time they were both Pissing-Drunk at Everest Cricket Club and Ramson Knockout Nandalall .... and piss in eee mouth.

Ksazma.... yuh think Kabaka will pay da kinda of Top Dollar fuh a Junkie Piss-Drinker.

Granted that Burnham did a lot of nonsense although I agree that Ramphal and Shahabadeen were exceptional. (Incidentally my dad was brighter than Shahabadeen when they went to school as kids in Essequibo but Shahabudeen's dad had money which allowed Shahabadeen to go further, quicker. My dad had to do it on his own as he came to Georgetown with only his passage. Nonetheless, he still ended up with a decent profession).

Back to the topic. The PPP should have fixed this problem while they were in office and conversely, the Coalition should have also done so since the PPP did not. Everyone should pay income tax especially these well paid ones.
