DR. JADOOPAT DISMISSAL CLAIMS – NOT A MEMBER OF THE AFC
The Alliance for Change (AFC) refutes outrightly, the false assertion that Dr. Rudy Jadoopat was a member of the AFC.
Perusals of the AFC’s records, both local and overseas, show that Dr. Jadoopat was never a member of the party in Guyana or in the North American Chapter.
The Minister of Natural Resources must inform the public of the government’s real reason in replacing Dr. Jadoopat at this critical juncture of the Guyana Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (GYEITI) work. On the contrary, to the government assertions, Dr, Jadoopat is being replaced by a known PPP activist, Mr. Prem Misir, who has no previous knowledge or background in anti-corruption and transparency initiatives.
The AFC is of the view that these false claims against Dr. Jadoopat are mere ‘red herrings’ which should be patently seen for what they are.
The MSG members and EITI International ought to condemn this political interference by the Government and see this replacement as a dilution of the independence of GYEITI.
