Guyana needs a special candidate for president

Jul 28, 2008 Letters

Dear Editor,
I have been following articles by Peeping Tom and other letter writers in the Kaieteur News, brain storming the issue of the proposed Presidential candidate for the PPP for the 2011 General Election.

The PPP has three seasoned, capable and outstanding gentlemen who are qualified to be good Presidential candidates — Donald Ramotar, Ralph Ramkarran and Moses Nagamootoo.

To my mind, Moses would be the best shot for the PPP and the people of Guyana, just like how Moses was needed to free the people in Egypt.

Moses Nagamootoo is a political thoroughbred steeled and seasoned in the process of working class struggle under the watchful eyes of Dr. Cheddi Jagan. He is the most eminent and influential politician and leader within the PPP and Guyana as a whole.

Moses Nagamootoo always stood tall as a tower in Guyana’s struggle for independence and democracy. He would not hesitate to go in areas hostile to the PPP, where stones and rotten eggs are pelted, and where his comrades would not go to address public meetings.

Moses always spoke on the same platform with Dr. Cheddi Jagan on the unity and struggle of the working class in every town and village throughout the length and breadth of Guyana. Moses is loved by Guyanese and the Guyanese Diaspora.

Dr. Cheddi Jagan had no doubt in his mind that Moses Nagamootoo has the potential and capability to lead the PPP and Guyana in his absence.

On many occasions when he was asked who would replace him in his absence, he would turn to Moses Nagamootoo and say, “Why worry, when Moses is around”.

Moses Nagamootoo is clean, truthful, merciful and charitable. Moses knows and understands Guyana’s political situation, and has the kind of decision that Dr. Jagan would have made.

He is the best candidate to walk in the footsteps of Dr. Cheddi Jagan, and would keep Dr. Cheddi Jagan’s legacy alive.

If the PPP goes to the membership to elect a Presidential candidate, Moses Nagamootoo will stand out tall as a tower.

Moses has the kind of charisma a president would need to bring the PPP and all opposition forces together to work for the development of Guyana.

Guyana needs a President like Moses Nagamootoo more than Moses may needs the Presidency.
