| The AFC’s ego is beyond its numerical importance |

Dea Reference is made to Mr. Raphael Trotman’s article “AFC’s decision to exclude PNCR not unanimous – Trotman” (30/7/2010). The more the AFC speaks the more people realise that the AFC leaders are not interested in them. The AFC’s ego is beyond its numerical importance and it becomes more inflated when the media gives it coverage without asking the tough questions. The more I read and hear about this party the more I think it is about keeping some people living off the sweat of the poor and powerless. There is absolutely no interest in the ordinary man who is in a constant flight because he cannot take it anymore. Mr. Editor, here are the facts on the AFC. In the 2006 elections it won 8 percent of the votes. The majority of those votes came from the PNC. The AFC has not pulled any significant votes from the PPP. The party’s recent commissioned poll showed Raphael Trotman as the second most popular leader after President Jagdeo. Later it was revealed the poll’s sampling frame was invalid which undermines its credibility. Some wondered if this poll was an effort by Trotman to influence the AFC to make him presidential candidate. After the tussle spilled over into the media it came out and said Khemraj Ramjattan will be the presidential candidate. Besides walking around and talking fancy and the occasional snooty distribution of alms the AFC has done nothing for the people. Mr. Editor, nothing, nada! Before the AFC thinks I am representing the PPP or an opposition party, let me put their hearts at ease. I am a Guyanese who is fed up your distortions, ineptitude and misplaced arrogance. As a citizen and voter I am calling on the media to put the AFC under the microscope before it is too late and the voters get used again. Navindra Persaud |
