Charrandass did not make any conscience vote -says AFC Chairman Khemraj Ramjattan

Charrandass did not make any conscience vote -says AFC Chairman Khemraj Ramjattan

The Alliance For Change, which is one of the parties that make up the coalition government, maintains that Charrandass Persaud’s decision to vote along with the Opposition in the no-confidence motion against the government, was an act of treachery and betrayal.

Persaud was an AFC Member and served as a Government Member of Parliament in the coalition government.

At a press conference today, AFC Chairman and Minister of Public Security, Khemraj Ramjattan, said it has become very clear that the vote by Charrandass Persaud had nothing to do with his conscience, but rather by other factors that were beneficial to him.

“The deduction must be made that Bharrat Jagdeo had Charrandass in the bag for some time before they could have come with a No Confidence Motion. It is inevitable that that deduction be made”, Ramjattan told the media.

He said the AFC had no idea that Persaud would have voted his own government. “He even wanted to speak during the debate on the motion”, Ramjattan said, as he noted that Persaud’s vote represented betrayal in its worst form.

Questioned about Persaud’s dual citizenship, which now forms part of a legal challenge to the no-confidence vote, Mr. Ramjattan said Persaud had declared to the party that he was only a citizen of Guyana and they never doubted him.

He admitted that in hindsight, perhaps more information could have been sought.

AFC Vice Chairperson, Cathy Hughes said of all of its Members of Parliament, it was only Minister Dominic Gaskin who made it known that he was born outside of Guyana but got his Guyanese citizenship by descent. He never pledged allegiance to any other country, she said.

Moving forward, the AFC still thinks it is in a strong position in the coalition government and will continue to work along with its coalition partners.

The party intends to head into the next elections as part of the coalition and indicated that it will be ready for those elections, whenever a date is announced.

“The deduction must be made that Bharrat Jagdeo had Charrandass in the bag for some time before they could have come with a No Confidence Motion. It is inevitable that that deduction be made”, Ramjattan told the media."

Khamraj is no bright bulb in the coalition...he earlier said 34 was the majority. Then he said lots of money were involved. Now he saying he was outsmarted by Jagdeo..

"He said the AFC had no idea that Persaud would have voted his own government. “He even wanted to speak during the debate on the motion”, Ramjattan said, as he noted that Persaud’s vote represented betrayal in its worst form."

Its called politics...he should have known better....was it Moses who said "Bring it on!"

"Questioned about Persaud’s dual citizenship, which now forms part of a legal challenge to the no-confidence vote, Mr. Ramjattan said Persaud had declared to the party that he was only a citizen of Guyana and they never doubted him."

Is he saying no other person in the AFC are dual citizens? what about himself and Moses (people think Moses has US citizenship also).

AFC Vice Chairperson, Cathy Hughes said of all of its Members of Parliament, it was only Minister Dominic Gaskin who made it known that he was born outside of Guyana but got his Guyanese citizenship by descent. He never pledged allegiance to any other country, she said.

If Gaskin was born outside, he is a citizen of the country in which he was born, no need to pledge allegiance...

Too much talking will get people into trouble and Indo doesn't like to shut up. Even if you did something with your own conscience or not, just shut up for a while. You know when politicians are in desperation mode, they will hunt down anything to retain power. Let's hope the court can put an end to this he say, she say, pusser-pusser.

Khemraj Ramjattan words has no meaning. This is the man who wave a sets of papers at a press conference , claiming he has the evidence Charandass sold his office and Prado 4 X 4 - claiming  Charrandas has this planed  a while ago. 

Charandass respond, he never owned the office but was renting ( how can he sold something he doesn’t owned) and sharing all income and expenses with a magistrate who has a office within the same unit. 

His Prado is up for sale, but no buyers.
