Dear Editor,
The Regional Agriculture and Commercial Exhibition (RACE) was officially launched on August 18, 2018 and it was a resounding success except for the rant and rave by an APNU/AFC Councillor from Region Five, Mr Abel Seetaram, who came with one intention, ‘to curse everyone except the Regional Chairman’.
He claimed that he was sent by the Minister of Public Security, Mr. Khemraj Ramjattan, to carry out that mission.
I saw him following the Prime Minister’s Representative, Mr. Gobin Harbhajan, as soon as he exited the stage and Mr. Seetaram could be heard hurling insults at him. He accused Mr. Harbhajan of highlighting corruption and attacked Mr. Gladwin Abdulla claiming that they do that because they ‘can’t get money, they go public’ and are not part of the ‘game’ so they want ‘name’.
He claimed that Mr Ramjattan told him that as well. If Mr Seetaram’s allegation about the Minister of Public Security is correct then he should resign immediately since he is no better than his friend Abel.
He then went on to make damning allegations against Prime Minister Moses Nagamoottoo and Mr. Imran Khan, the Director of Public Information. He claimed that they would write letters to the press and ordered him to sign but he told later them that he could write his own letters.
He then claimed that the PM is the ‘nastiest’ and the ‘biggest waste’ man in the country and can ‘kill people’ for what he wants and wished he had died.
I always knew that Mr. Seetaram is just a pawn who is being used to carry out the biddings of his master.
This APNU/AFC Councillor made all these disparaging remarks in full view of the Regional Chairman, the REO and the media personnel. It is beyond my wildest imagination that this convicted felon is allowed to continue to embarrass this Coalition Government. He should be removed as a Councillor immediately and be dismissed from his job as a Community Development Officer.
Mr. Seetaram has a history of wrongs and criminal activities, ranging from alleged fraud, indecent exposure, verbal abuse, driving under the influence of alcohol, reckless driving, damage to property and felonious wounding.
He was convicted and sentenced for felonious wounding but is out on bail to continue his nefarious activities. The Prime Minister did the right and honourable when he dismissed him as his Representative in Region 5. As a member of the APNU, I am calling on my Government to get rid of this ticking time bomb.
We should not allow this RDC Councillor to continue on his journey of ignominy, brining disrepute to this Government.
I am sending the taped recording, which I took at the RACE event to verify what I have written here.
Yours sincerely,
Raj Lakhram
Councillor #52/74 NDC
