Dear Editor,
I refer to the headline in the Stabroek News of Monday 15th August that the AFC is against the parking meter contract and it should be scrapped and Mr Sherod Duncan speaks for the party in relation to the said contract.
Mr Duncan has done a fine job in raising awareness about this scandal and must be commended. But why only Mr Duncan? Where is the leadership of the party on this matter? Where is the leader Mr Khemraj Ramjattan and co-founder Mr Raphael Trotman?
Where are the General Secretary Mr David Patterson and the acting Chairman, Mr. Moses Nagamootoo? Where is one of the spokespersons of the party Mrs Cathy Hughes? Where are all these people who used to rant and rail (justifiably I must add) against the Jagdeo regime. Have they been silenced by the cushy jobs and big salaries? The free electricity, free vehicle, free trips, and almost free everything. Why only Mr Duncan on this matter? Can Mr Ramjattan also tell us who (and when) will speak on the Minister Norton/drug bond fiasco? The nation waits to hear.
Finally, the fleet of vehicles, the big house, the big salary, the big pension that is looming have all conspired for Mr Nagamootoo to forget who killed Walter Rodney. When he was in the PPP he lectured to the nation as to the assassins. Now, he cannot remember! Talk about selective amnesia.
