Dear Editor,
I have observed a flurry of defensive letters in the media by Mr. Moses Nagamootoo who holds a very senior position in the Alliance for Change, which promoted itself in the lead up to last November as political party which does not see anyone based on the color of their skin or use racially divisive tactics in their political pawn game.
Since then, however, time really provided an eye opener. I will hesitate to focus on other external issues regarding Mr. Nagamootoo and deal with his letter in the press regarding his links with a Chinese company which is a subsidiary of the entity contracted to reconstruct our Timehri International Airport. Mr. Nagamootoo has left me in a quandary as I was under the impression that this gentleman and the AFC by extension represented all of Guyana and Guyanese of all races and ethnicity.
In his letter to the press attacking the ruling party he is quoted as saying, “In their frenzy to woo back Indo-Guyanese support, the PPP has resorted to other wicked lies of linking me with violence in Agricola”.
Well this is a damning admission as I never knew Moses to exclusively represent a particular ethnic group and I never knew the AFC to have ‘a man for each season or in this case ethnicity’.
I would also wish for Mr. Nagamootoo to confirm whether or not he was present at the scene during the first day of the Agricola unrests as there are reports of persons seeing him in a Chinese shop on the public road witnessing the attacks on many hapless Guyanese.
