Joey Jagan made the difference
DEAR EDITOR,
Just as a refresher, during 1994 to 1997, at the request of Dr Cheddi Jagan, I was on a special leave from the government of Canada, as the Director of Primary Education Improvement Program. I exposed Bharrat Jagdeo and State Planning for building schools for almost twice the price. Corruption, Corruption. This is what hastened Dr Jagan’s death. He died March 6, 1997 and my services were terminated on March 7, 1997.
I supported the AFC from the inception and I advised Ramjattan to have Joey Jagan and a cricketer on his team. I also recently advised Nagamootoo.
When the AFC joined the coalition, many of the Indian people home and abroad, said that the AFC betrayed them, that APNU was going to kick AFC as Burnham did to the UF. I could not convince them otherwise. I spent a fortune on this survey, from taxi drivers, people in the community and other areas. Even my wife who supported AFC, said she was going to vote PPP. After I convinced her, she went door to door advising people to vote for the Key.
Enter Joey Jagan and Alvin Kallicharran, and on another survey, many Indians who condemned the coalition, went to vote for Jagan. Joey Jagan and Kallicharran made the difference.
Uncle Freddie, Kaieteur News and Stabroek News must be commended.
