No-confidence motion is being tabled against the entire APNU+AFC gov’t
Dear Editor, From his press conference held at the PNCR Headquarters at Congress Place yesterday, it is clear that Mr. Moses Nagamootoo has much skills at deceit and deception. When he asked the question “Where is the Guyanese compassion?”, he opened himself to be accused of nakedly playing to the gallery rather than focusing on the more important question as to the health of the nation’s affairs and the reasons for the political shellacking at the just concluded polls.
It would be remiss of me to let him get away with this glaring act of spinning the truth and replacing it with his usual convoluted misrepresentation of the facts. Please permit me Editor to list these few facts.
Facts 1 – This no-confidence motion tabled by the Leader of the Opposition was brought against a Government; not an individual. For the record and emphasis, this noconfidence motion is being tabled against the entire APNU+AFC (PNCR-led) Government as a collective and not any individual.
Fact 2 – Whatever happens in Parliament when this motion is concluded will have zero impact on the personal affairs of His Excellency President Granger? After all, at this moment, he is the President of all of Guyana, legally and legitimately. If the current APNU+AFC (PNCRled) Government of Guyana is to fall as a result of this no-confidence motion, the rules dictate that all current and former Presidents are entitled to a full Presidential Medical and Pension Package, which means in common parlance – almost unlimited funds. So what is this nonsense from Mr. Nagamootoo about compassion?
Fact – 3 – Mr. Nagamootoo in his usual style of empty flamboyance, deliberately chose to sidestep the record of his three-year-old APNU+AFC (PNCR-led) Government. Instead he sought to inject all sorts of innuendos, insinuations, words of intimidation and wild inferences into his statements. And after all the theatrics, he and his team, with their tails between their legs, hid from the scrutiny of Parliament yesterday. What manner of people conduct themselves in such a milquetoast manner?
Yours faithfully, Sasenarine Singh
