–his day of reckoning will come, justice will be served-President Ali
With 14 days until Nomination Day, the PPP/C Government appears to be stepping up its anti-Azruddin Mohamed campaign. At a recent fundraiser at the Arthur Chung conference Centre (ACCC), PPP/C’s Finance Secretary and Head of State, Dr. Irfaan Ali, dished out stinging rebukes against the US-sanctioned businessman who aspires to be Guyana’s next president. In his quest to do so, Mohamed and his team have been visiting various communities and engaging with residents. There are several occasions where Mohamed used the opportunity to make donations in various forms.
Ali told those in attendance that he finds Mohamed’s behaviour in this regard to be “extremely disgusting.” He said, “That one spoiled brat who grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth, believes that your dignity, believes that your honour is up for sale; that he can walk in a village and identify four or five persons and give them some money in their hand or give them some handout in exchange for their vote.”
The President added, “…that is an example of leadership you do not want…That leadership is selfish. That leadership is fundamentally of the belief that humans are for sale.”
Come September 1, Ali said Mohamed can dole out the entire stash he has but it will mean nothing to the Guyanese electorate. He said the days when people bought humans was called slavery and it is long over. He assured that the “day of reckoning will” find Mohamed and justice will be served on the presidential hopeful who is facing multi-million dollar tax charges in the local courts.
