“The AFC today is no longer the AFC as was formed. Mr Ramjattan has told me in no uncertain terms that if he has to make a choice between money and a member, he will choose money since money is the mother’s milk of a political party,†these were the words of former Alliance for Change Executive member, Sasenarine Singh.
Singh who was at the time speaking during an interview with a local media house said he was permanently banned from all AFC-USA chapters on December 5th. While stating that the action was taken against him without him being afforded due process, he accused party leader, Khemraj Ramjattan of choosing “money over democracyâ€.
According to Singh, he had resigned from the party in 2013, but had still continued to share ideas with the leadership in Georgetown. He said that earlier this year, he rejoined the membership of the party and became part of the AFC Queens Group.
Singh added that one of the most recent fallouts within the party occurred after a major financier attempted to make the Queens Chapter and New York/New Jersey Chapter one body.
By consensus, at an Executive Committee meeting on November 22, 2015, he said the entire leadership of the Queens group voted not to join the AFC financier and “his family picnic†which is trying to rebrand itself using “autocratic meansâ€.
According to him, the financier has provided the AFC with over US$200,000 between 2013 and 2015 and, as such, has been given ‘unlimited’ powers over the party’s USA affairs.
