"Dem ah Katahaar":
Celebrating his GUYANESE nationality,
Moses Nagamootoo said tonight
at Zeelugt, west Demerara:
"coconut grow on coconut tree,
whether the coconut is green, yellow or brown.
I have come from the Guyana tree,
so I am GUYANESE."
But before he could finish his statement,
someone from the crowd interjected:
"don't worry wid dem, Moses.
Dem is Katahaar!"
That drew loud applause and laughter from the crowd,
mostly sugar workers and farmers,
who kept up the refrain,
"Katahaar government"
every time a reference was made
about the PPP and President Ramotar.
The occasion was
an APNU+AFC public meeting
at Fisher's Dam, Zeelugt.
Other speakers were Sookoo, a former court prosecutor,
and Merv Williams, a former Member of Parliament.
