ERC probes race remarks against WPA executive member

 

Desmond Trotman taking the oath of office as Elections Commissioner before President David Granger at State House on Friday, November 24, 2017.

The Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC) has begun investigating a report of alleged racially insensitive remarks by Working People’s Alliance (WPA) executive member, Desmond Trotman against the Chairman of the Private Sector Commission (PSC), Gerry Gouveia.

ERC Chief Investigator, former Deputy Police Commissioner Alvin Smith told Demerara Waves/News-Talk Radio Guyana that he has asked Trotman for a meeting.

Gouveia has said Smith has already spoken with him as part of the probe in relation to the complaint lodged by the PSC on July 31, 2019.

“The Private Sector Commission wishes to register a formal complaint to the Commission with regard to the racist content, the racial hate and the threatening racist tone of the letter and requests that your Commission conduct an immediate investigation into and take appropriate action on this matter,” Executive Director of the PSC, Joel Bhagwandin said.

The umbrella PSC noted that Trotman signed the letter as an Elections Commissioner on a WPA letterhead.

The PSC said Mr. Gouveia was at all times acting quite properly and responsibly as PSC Chairman in an exchange of correspondence with the Chief Elections Officer of the Guyana Elections Commission, Keith Lowenfield.

He, Peter D'Aguiar a Putagee, is the reason Guyana is in the condition and situation today. Guyana has been cursed since that selfish Putagee joined with the worst negro in Guyana to exploit Guyana and make Guyana a Global Beggar.

Listen to this backward coolie. D'aguiar had your people living well, paid them well, gave them food on their tables, the only politician at the time who did so. What did Jagan and Burnham do for theirs?  

Furthermore, skeldonass, it is posts like yours that bring this site into the crosshairs of the authorities, I hope you have good reason to own the guns you love speaking about here because when you hear a knock on your door you could find yourself on a plane heading back to Guyana, keep it up.

He took care of his Putagee mafia first. Majority of his employees were from the city...not my people you dumbass molten brain. Coolies did not get free food; they are industrious people who worked for their daily bread and fed you Putagees too. Don't worry about my posts. What I write here is from experience and prove it. You, on the other hand, were not interested in the welfare of the people. You cared about floating in the sky.
