Was't this comic all over on election night bellowing his lungs out.
Grading President Grangers performance
Jul 09, 2017 Features / Columnists, Freddie Kissoon 0 Comments
On Thursday afternoon, I was a guest of Stan Gouveias radio programme, The Hot Seat on 94.1FM. The first question was grading the President. Actually Stan didnt ask me to give the President a mark. He informed me that President Granger awarded an A grade to his Cabinet, and then he asked for my reaction. I prefaced my fail grade for Mr. Granger by the following explanation which I will repeat here.
I told Stan I respect my education which was earned from hard work and based on my love for education, I cannot honestly cast it aside by being dishonest on my analysis of Mr. Granger in office. I gave Mr. Granger an F grade, and that came out of dispassionate assessment of his two-year stewardship of the country. I dont know if Mr. Granger will be irked about what was said on The Hot Seat or is written here. Mr. Granger makes decisions; my task is to put my interpretations on those decisions for my readers. Many of those decisions were plainly wrong, many not commensurate with democratic culture.
It has not been an effective two years for Mr. Granger. He has not demonstrated the leadership qualities that this country needs in the post-Jagdeo period. I see nothing on the landscape, except his financial rectitude, to convince me that transformational changes are on the horizon. I chose carefully to make a distinction between financial rectitude and personal integrity. While I am not going to comment extensively on Mr. Grangers personal integrity, I think it is not epistemologically and psychologically possible to separate personal integrity from opportunistic politics.

Interesting report. Suggests Granger is a slow learner which is what folks expected from a man new to government and not blessed with any particular technical skills. Fortunately he seems to have no desire to enrich himself from state funds.
Strange that Kissoon did not find the difference in reported corruption (comparing the previous and present regimes) worth mentioning. The real issue across the Caribbean which Kissoon also failed to mention is the high level of debt and lack of investment that the senior citizens are leaving for the young people to shoulder.
In reply to Headley
Let me just point out that he doubled the salaries of his govt days within office.
I am not mudslinging but, this same current govt made a massive brouhaha over Jagdeos presidential pension, how they were stealing from the govts coffers etc ect
Now that he is the president and along with Nagamotoo are the next beneficiaries, the issue has been swept quietly under the rug.
There are more issues that dont smell right (like writing off billions in owed tax by a beverage company), however I dont have the time or the energy to go thru them all now
They are borrowing heavily and filling positions with ex army personnel.

Freddie CALLS IT AS HE SEES IT
In reply to cricketmygame
He was campaigning heavily for this same government. Forked tongue?
Why Souljaj Bai vex with Freedie?...according to Freddie...that he Freddie merely retold a story told by
Trotman that Saouljah Bai had created a position in government for his son-in-law
In Berbice, robbers tied up a mother and son and torched their home; the son freed himself, the mother was burnt to death.
On the West Coast of Demerara, a married couple in their seventies locked themselves in their bedroom when burglars descended on the home. The bandits burned the house down with them inside.
In Berbice, robbers chopped a seventy year old man and his wife to death, while enjoying themselves to drinks and food.

Freddie calls it as her sees it as someone else said. No blind loyalty to any party.
In reply to Cardiac
Nope, I do not buy that, he was campaigning for this govt apparently he was shunned.
From Granger through to Nagamootoo, right down to the junior ministers, this country is on autopilot control without a skilled captain flying the plane.
Freddie again
In reply to Runs
apparently?????
Freddie himself admitted many times that he is shunned....his wifey and daughter are also shunned.....not even a 'lie lie' job offer...
I believe Freddie now get de message that he looks like Kohli and therefore he is Kohli....and he can't change that...
Freddie publicly declared many times that he was ashamed to be Kohli
for all his campaigning and love he showered on Souljah Bai....and the hate spewed on everyone associated with PPP.....including voters.....recently there was a PNC demonstration in front of Kaiteur news where Freddie and his boss were cussed about dem Kohli dis and dem Kohli dat...
Why was Freddie shocked?

despite the results of the current gvt the old gvt needed change
Fellas, Freddie is delusional. He cannot help himself in assailing the previous government. Somehow someone needs to remind him that there has been a change in government. There has been China gate. Drug bond gate. Parking meter gate. The mega salaries. The mega rent scheme. The Durban park debacle. Rampant crime. Black out sessions are a regularity. Smash and burn prisoners. Widespread flooding. Failure in agriculture. Persistent Bribery and corruption. And no one is held accountable. Freddie is now waking up to the new realities of life in the new regime.
Glen Lall needs a dose of reality. He still thinks that Jagdeo is in power.
And Clive Thomas said the previous administration stole 300 billion dollars per year. Can Clive show us the 600 billion for the two years the new government is in power?
The government has spent hundreds of millions on forensic audits all to no avail.
Something is really wrong folks. If the theft and corruption was as widespread as they would like you to believe then why is it so difficult to unearth????
The AFC is in disarray. Nuff said.

Undoubtedly, but not these guys
In reply to runout
-don't forget at least double the amount of ministers
-most new hires and heads of various departments are predominantly of one race to the tune of at least 80% and in many cases over 90%. Same for scholarships and training.
-inexperienced former military men placed in very important non military positions in and out of the government
-the constant rejection, for no valid reason, of the GECOM list provided by the opposition
The previous administration I am sure had racist elements but they at least tried to create the correct optics by reflecting the population in most of the time.
The current government comes across as arrogant, insensitive and perhaps racist.

Next election there will be serious bloodshed to control the oil money
And...I expect Canada to restart taking refugees from Mudland
In reply to Narper Hehehehe...u N I are on the same page sah? Worse, if these two parties can't be bipartisan N be less fractious!
In reply to BeatDball
Bipartisan lol you gat jokes bro
In reply to Runs
that man gets sh(T) thrown on his head.
Remember the PPP local authority clean the trench and skip the section in front of his house.....
A tough customer that.
For the three universities I attended with 26 years of service I earned two thousand dollars more than this young man. I think if he went on to achieve 26 years of service, he certainly would have ended up earning more than $400,000
Freddie my bwoy...you made your choice...live with it............eff patriotism....YOU WERE SCARED TO COMPETE IN THE REAL WORLD....YOU WANTED TO BE A BIG FISH IN A SMALL POND....but it didn't work out for you....Freddie nah cry....KARMA in yuh skunt
