THE AFC DEMISE—LEADERS FEATHERING THEIR NESTS AS THE MEMBERS SUFFER

Oct 24, 2018 Letters

Dear Editor,
The AFC was a force to be reckoned with in 2015. So much so as its members had high hopes and campaigned aggressively for a change of government in the May 2015 elections. APNU was not as visible in the campaign and acknowledged this openly.
However, after the change in government, PNC members emerged. Many previously invisible ones such as Halim Majeed and Rupert Hopkinson were appointed while others were facetiously placed on committees and boards to the exclusion of deserving AFC members.
AFC ministers and senior members thereafter concentrated in feathering their nests, increasing their salaries and benefits and ignored the pleas of the rank and file members, many of whom could not find a job while PNC members dominated in all departments.
AFC leaders were unconcerned for three years and suddenly appeared asking for AFC members to offer themselves as candidates for the November LGE. At this belated time, when all can see the domination of the PNC, it was too late.
All along, the prediction was that the PNC would dump the AFC and govern alone. This started over two years and has incrementally continued. The AFC boat cannot at this time climb up back the falls…it is doomed.
