Trotman's selfishness led to the break-up of coalition talks in 2006-Joey Jagan

-The AFC and Trotman will suffer tremendous embarrassment in 2011 when voters realize their true colours

Joey Jagan: The nonsense which Mr Trotman is peddling about them not being involved in nurturing and getting involved in the third force in 2005, is convenient now after five years have passed. He conveniently forgets the time he came to have discussions at my house when I had a massive injury to my leg and it wasn’t about my leg which we talked; he conveniently forgets to mention that he was at many meetings of the third force where he spoke quite a bit and empathically about the prospects of third force unity in the 2006 elections; he conveniently forgets that in December 2005 when the photo of third force leaders was published, the AFC had already scuttled from the rest of us in that picture and were hard at work ‘buttering their own bread’; he conveniently forgets that when he mentions the question of him and Ramjattan retaining their seats in Parliament which was discussed in a third force forum, everyone besides them was against that position because the seats really belonged to the PNC and PPP respectively, so how could the third force have sitting members of the PPP and PNC in it; they disagreed; he conveniently mentions that I was the declared presidential candidate for Unity Party and that the AFC’s declaration “aggrieved” me when he knows quite well that there was never any announcement to the public that I was running for president, because he knows that there was a seven-year residence requirement in the constitution in order to run for president and I thus was not eligible – he’s trying to pin ambition on me when ambition underlined everything he did as no one else in the third force had declared for president either except for him after they launched the AFC; he conveniently refers to the fact that the AFC was never a part of the third force but he never mentions the plans he himself put forward for third force advancement and the role everyone would play; he conveniently forgets the proposal he himself put forward, early in the game, before the AFC’s launch, to have Hardy as presidential candidate and he (Trotman) as prime ministerial candidate for the third force; it was turned down.

So, Editor , we now come to the last part of Mr Trotman’s letter where he asks me to comment on Keith Scott and his part in the PNCR-1G effort and the reason why only Scott ended up there. My answer is to ask Mr Trotman the same thing, because he should know after spending a number of years in the top leadership of the PNC and then walking out while holding onto their seat in Parliament. All I know is that when I left the PPP in 1998, I immediately gave up my seat in Parliament and all the benefits which came with that position; it was the honourable thing to do. Maybe Keith Scott has a greater commitment to coalition politics than Mr Trotman, and he put his money where his mouth is after the AFC initiated the break-up of the coalition process we were working on. Mr Trotman’s closing remarks in which he warns me to “train my guns elsewhere” or I would be caused “injury and embarrassment” is sheer nonsense, and I remind Mr Trotman that I am not training any guns anywhere because the truth is what matters and I can never suffer injury and embarrassment the way the AFC and Mr Trotman will come the next general elections when the citizens will realize that they are splitters, not uniters, as the experience of third force politics taught me.

  1. Trotman by his actions has vindicated the fact that he is an agent for the PNC, since it is against the innate nature of the PNC to be interested in a unifying the people; therefore as has always been the case the AFC has been doing the groundwork for the PNC and it is for this very reason that Trotman refuses to criticism the PNC for their atrocities yet they allow the "water boy" to go after the Party of his parents

  3. The AFC- All For Corbin, there theme says it all...well there are deceitful indeed, always covetous of others. Definitely they are beckoning for humiliation in the coming election...Trotman only motive behind the third force was to have his colleagues like puppets and he has proven this so well, what a pity for his comrades in the now existing AFC...his aim is just have a hands on all the opportunities that he presumes are up for grabs…I pity him when the time comes

  4. Well this is something to have a good laugh about, Joey being two timed by Trotman....just hilarious!!! It serves Joey just right...plus Trotman believes he is on top but little does he know he is going to be out of position very soon, people who are cheaters don't go far, next election will definitely prove it
