It is now certain that Moses Nagamootoo, who served the PPP for almost five decades, has joined the platform of the Alliance for Change.
Nagamootoo, 64, will step on the AFC stage for the first time Thursday at a rally billed for Independence Park at 1:30 PM. From there, the party leaders will head to City Hall to present their Candidate List for contesting the November 28 polls.
Nagamootoo Monday resigned from the PPP, saying the current leadership has demonstrated the sort of pettiness, greed, corruption and arrogance that party founder, Dr Cheddi Jagan, fought against.
He served as a Member of the PPP Cabinet governments of Dr Cheddi Jagan, Janet Jagan, Samuel Hinds and Bharrat Jagdeo.
Nagamootoo was educated at the Auchlyne Scots School, Corentyne and the Rose Hall and Comprehensive High Schools. He was a visiting journalits at the University of Kansas and pursued studies towards a Law degree at the University of Guyana and the University of the West Indies.
He was a teacher between 1964-71.
He was born in Whim Village on the Corentyne Coast. His parents, Gagana (chunoo) and Nagamootoo Ramaswamy (Mootoo) were first generation Guyana-born offspring of Indian immigrants who came from India's Madrasi population.
His book, Hendree’s Cure: Scenes from Madrasi Life in a New World (Peepal Tree, 2000), a work of documentary fiction, is a libation to the Madrasi world of his youth.
Nagamootoo has the support of his wife, Sita (a former headmistrer and lecturer at the teacher's training college) and that of his four children Angela, Maria, Adela and Moses Ernesto.
