Bharrat Jagdeo is accused of lying

Mar 26, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
Jagdeo continues to prove he is a consistent liar. During the last elections, he constantly provided a diet of lies. At his recent Press Conference, Jadgeo made three premeditated lies. Firstly, he claimed I was the Guyanese Consulate in South Africa. I have never ever been, never wanted to, could not have even if I wanted to have been the Guyana Consulate in South Africa. This is a big lie. Where is the Letter of Authorization to allow me to do this?
Where is the letter to be given to the South African Government? Where is the announcement? Where are the payment wires? Where are the communications between myself and the Jagdeo or myself and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Where is the mandate and what services did I ever provide as this fictitious Consulate? This is a blatant lie. Compare this to Luncheon’s statement that no African Guyanese were qualified to be such during his testimony in the Jagdeo libel writ against Freddie Kissoon and Kaieteur News.
In Jagdeo’s effort to be not seen as the tribalist he is; he is purposefully lying. The media can easily verify this by asking the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or Jagdeo to provide the above information. Secondly, I have never threatened any Member of the Opposition. The words I wrote on facebook are pretty clear and so is the context.
Minister Trotman said at a Press Conference at Cara Lodge on January 6, 2016, as appeared in the newspaper that “Around 15,000 ounces of gold are smuggled each week?” He said the gold is going to Brazil, Suriname and Miami airport and JFK and that a team from the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Homeland Security visited last year to brief the Government. I am sure the physical evidence to back up the FBI/Homeland Security’s claim is with the Minister.
Jagdeo said I had to leave South Africa overnight and hence they had to appoint another person. If I was never the Guyana Consulate, it is easy to see this is a lie. I have never had to leave South Africa overnight and I have been back since. Jagdeo’s deceit is worsening as he tries to divide the nation.
The Government should seek sedition charges as he does not, as he believes, have immunity for the rest of his life. This is why he behaves as an unbalanced person. It is time his own party reins him in as he is actually terrorizing the Indian Community with his nasty politics.
