Home Letters PNC Vinceroy Jordan continues to mislead public on agri matters in Reg...
Dear Editor,
Please allow me to shed some light on a recent matter in Region Five that was made public by PNC member Vinceroy Jordan M.P. and to correct the many mistakes that he made knowingly or unknowingly to gain some form of attention from his supporters.
I have said many times and will say again that Viceroy Jordan is a square peg in a round hole by being the opposition shadow minister of agriculture. This man knows nothing about the agriculture sector and is playing blind-sighted as to the development within the sector that is presently taking place.
Vinceroy Jordan posted a video on his Facebook page where he interviewed one Abdul Rahim of Bush Lot Village, West Coast Berbice (WCB). In that video, Mr. Rahim made several damaging allegations against MM/ADA and its Directors.
During the interview Mr. Rahim claimed that he has a portion of land situated on the Right Bank of the Abary River and in the said video says that someone by the name of Sammy is now on the said land which he owns.
Jordan keeps pushing Rahim by questioning him by asking some very catchy questions to ensure that he gets his way to spread false information as he usually does and Mr. Rahim is caught up in Jordan’s trap by saying he has said land. In possession means he is the owner or occupying said land.
Mr. Rahim keep talking and Jordan keeps recording the lies and false information being told to him, Mr. Rahim is also alleging that he is not getting access to lands situated on the Left Bank of the Abary River.
Mr. Jordan, did Mr. Rahim tell you (be truthful for once Pastor) that he went to court and lost the matter and was ordered to vacate the said land on the Left Bank of the Abary River, which he wants access to?
It is sad when people are fighting to be leaders and do not possess the skills or knowledge to seek clarity on the information they receive before making it public. I know that Jordan wants to make the news in every way just like his colleagues and going to do all that he can, even lying to the public so that he can be on the news and this is another matter of the misinformation being peddled by the PNC and it’s Region Five M.P.
Mr. Jordan, let it be clear as ice to you that Mr. Rahim does not legally own that said portion of land on the Right Bank of the Abary River in any form either by lease or transport. What he did was illegally and unlawfully fence a portion of that land which is a State Land Reserve without any approval or proper documentation from the authority.
So the matter is clear, Mr. Jordan that the man does not own the land and was asked to vacate the state reserve. But because you want to make political mileage you went and did an interview with the man without getting the facts on the matter and I won’t blame you because that’s how the entire PNC operates by lies and deception.
I spoke to the person who is on the land presently and he told me that on numerous occasions Mr. Rahim tried to destroy his farm and he made reports to the police and they had to intervene on several occasions.
Jordan let it be known that Rahim did not own that portion of land and he was ordered by a court of law to vacate the land. Do you understand what a court of law order means when they say to vacate?
Mr. Rahim went on to make some damaging allegations about the management and members of the MMA/ADA board, whereby he claimed that one of the directors sold the land to the person presently occupying the said portion of the land.
Mr. Jordan, I thought you were a wise guy but you proved otherwise because you as a pastor and a politician should have known that when someone cannot get their way of what they want, they cast blame on any and everyone who they could to gain attention.
I want to ask you, Mr. Jordan to visit MMA and ask for all the names of the people that have leases and visit those lands and see who are the ones subletting the lease lands when subletting is illegal. Voice your concern on this and call for MMA to take back those lands from people who are subletting their lease lands.
Mr. Rahaim’s claims are far from the truth and he is putting himself in further trouble because he identified one of the directors by calling his name on that video and I believe that the director should take Mr. Rahim to court for his allegations.
I am calling and challenging you Mr. Jordan on this matter to bring the facts and let’s meet on this matter as you are once again spreading lies about the agriculture sector in Region Five. Let’s meet at any open space with the facts and if you cannot produce the truth about the matter and the facts then you need to shut up and stop spreading lies.
Agriculture in Region Five is better off and tremendous growth is happening in this sector than what was happening under the previous government (you were a water boy then). Every sector of agriculture in this region is moving up and people are seeing the many developments taking place.
Many farmers are benefitting from the sector technically from its sub-agencies staff and even directly from the ministry’s input.
Mr. Jordan, I do not expect better from you because it’s known all over Guyana and afar that the agriculture sector developments alone are breaking the backs of the PNC.
Respectfully,
Abel Seetaram
