Residents of Whim, Corentyne, Berbice, the hometown of Moses Nagamootoo, had mixed reaction yesterday as word spread about his resignation from the People’s Progressive Party (PPP).
Some persons also said that it was “bothering” them a lot after they heard on an AFC programme on television that President Bharrat Jagdeo would earn a $3M monthly pension after demitting office. “That is terrible and we want to know if that is true because old age pension is from 65 years and it is just $7,500 monthly,” said one.
Nagamootoo’s relatives told Stabroek News that they would “support him 100% because we don’t like the way the PPP treated him.”
They said that even before he announced that he was leaving the PPP, they had already opted out about four months ago and were supporting the AFC. They said confidently that “the AFC is the best party for us now.”
His brother, Keeran Nagamootoo told this newspaper that he was “pleased because he left the party because of the circumstances that the PPP had him in.”
He explained that his brother “was supposed to be the first choice for the presidential candidate because he was a senior member who served the party since Cheddi Jagan time.”
