[humbleservant]

Yeah, UNC is only lies and scandal and deceit right through.

You can fool some people, some of the time,

JACK DROPS BOMB

Jack Warner released this cheque showing a 1 Million dollar payment to the government's preferred advertising agent, Ross Advertising.

The payment was made by one of Mr Warners' many companies Jamad Limited. Mr Warner is suggesting that it was for funding the UNC's successful General Elections bid.

Prime Minister Kamla Persad Bissessar has said that Mr Warner never funded any of her campaigns and instructed her attorneys to look into Mr Warner's statement.

More fun for the family

[bluefete]

You have your political party. Stay in it. Stop pretending to share the vision of the Honorable Kamla Persad-Bissessar and begging for employment, water, food cards etc! Why didn't you ask the pnm for that when it was in power?? Same for Jack Warner. Lies and more lies from him. He cannot be trusted! It was a mistake to bring him into the unc and the PPG. He never belonged and will NEVER belong!

That's why some people progress and others remain stagnant. You cannot truth them because they will cut their nose off to spoil their face!
People need to stay where they belong!

You coding racism there Trichards80????????????????????

It wasn't a mistake when they wanted his money though? Was it?

[pugboy]

ernie running the country long time

surely kamala will go public with bank statements of a unc account with small money in it.

[The_Honourable]

You do know legally, Kamla is right. He is not his company, and he gave it Ross, not the UNC, which is what I indicated earlier. Jack has always been funding the UNC indirectly. He is opening up a can of worms with this one for both parties though.

But when he funds a UNC's advertising agency, that creates a messy legal situation that is difficult to prove and dis-involves UNC in Jack's money laundering schemes.....somewhat.

ahhh campaign financing. PP made excuses in dealing with it, and I am sure if the PNM becomes the next government, they will make excuses also.

No intention of dealing with campaign financing

By: Tony Fraser

The political parties, aided and abetted by the business community, legitimate and that segment which operates behind a web of intrigue, illegitimacy and violence, have conspired to delude the national electorate into believing there was an intention to have legislation in place to govern the financing of the 2015 general election campaign. For 25 years and more, it has been clear that parties have been inviting business corporations to purchase influence in the award of contracts through the funding of their election campaigns.

A People’s Partnership government won office in 2010 on the basis of having vigorously campaigned against allegations of deep corruption (undoubtedly involving campaign financiers) in the PNM government to the level of hundreds of millions.

“We will enhance democracy by strengthening existing institutions and by establishing new institutions or appropriate infrastructure to support accountability, transparency, consultation, participation and consensus-building and more meaningful representation.” PP Manifesto.

However, the Parliament waits four years and more before it established in December last a Joint Select Committee to engage this vital subject of investors bribing political parties through the financing of campaigns. Incidentally, four elections were held during the period all amidst allegations of investor corruption, yet no hope of legislation and regulations being put in place for the 2015 poll.

But that should not be surprising. More than a year ago Attorney General Anand Ramlogan said campaign finance legislation would come in January 2016.

That was clear indication that there was never an intention on the part of the Government to have the legislation passed in time for it to be put into effect before the poll.

The position of the opposition People’s National Movement has been to the effect that it would not “tie its hands behind its back” and engage in anything that would deny investors an opportunity to fund its election campaign while the other parties receive investment dollars.

The parties, judging from the very expensive and expansive campaigning that has already begun, have begun to receive millions in gifts from different segments of the business community; the investors intent on securing for themselves contracts and protection as in the instance of Section 34.

Just in case you think this to be journalistic hyperbole, there is a case now in the court system in which an entrepreneur/political investor is attempting to retrieve what he says was a loan/gift ($60 million) to a particular campaign manager of a party.

Corporate executives do not throw around that kind of money without the possibility of a return on investment.

Even the then political leader of the party had consistently required the individual, who is said to have received the donation/loan, to account for the funds. Investing in political parties by the legitimate and illegitimate business community is a blue chip investment that returns contracts worth billions for the investment of a few million dollars.

During election campaigns the parties charge each other for receiving funding for their campaigns from drug dealers.

Against such a background, member of the Joint Select Committee Prakash Ramadhar last week sought to find an excuse for why campaign finance legislation has not been brought to the Parliament in time for the poll said. “It would be wrong really to weigh this issue as if it was delayed for any reason other than the fact that we had a priority listing, procurement being on the highest….”

Who determines priority and for what reasons? But even the procurement legislation which he says was given high priority, although passed in last December is unlikely to be implemented before the election while billion-dollar contracts are being given out free sheet. They cannot fool little children with their acts of hypocrisy and blatant dishonesty.

Incidentally, Ramadhar is the political leader of the Congress of the People, the party which contested on the basis of being the conscience of the politics and had divined for itself to be the moral conscience of the government in “New Politics.”

What of the business community. Elements of it have stayed far from saying anything about campaign finance legislation; they will do nothing to be without influence along the corridors of power. These are some of the “good citizens” who become self righteous and critical of governments and others when commenting on some form of perceived wrong-doing in government, including the award of contracts.

They were amongst those who developed a Code of Ethics (notably missing a statement on campaign finance) for the parties to follow in their campaigns, yet they do not hold themselves to any code with regard to ethical considerations when it comes to investing in the Treasury.

Significantly, multi-million dollar campaign financing is gradually eroding the franchise hard-won by ordinary workers and peoples organisations during the 1930s and 1940s.

The power of the average elector is being undone by the glitzy campaigns concerned more with fluff than substance.

Campaign funds are devoted to purchasing doubly expensive time on television, radio and ads in the newspapers. Tee shirts, paraphernalia, sound systems and razzle dazzle that take over the stage while the content of the platform is focused around distortion, dishonesty and matters which cannot transform the society.

Come nah man daran. You tryna get technical orwha?

That is what has to happen when they ransom their independence of thought to three letters.

It easier to split hairs than deal with the direct consequences of the truth

ahhh campaign financing. PP made excuses in dealing with it, and I am sure if the PNM becomes the next government, they will make excuses also.

Pleasant night to you sir and members of this forum.

I personally try not to get involved in topics which deal with religion and politics as it involves too much throwing of feces on everyone. But I must point out something to you and others.

The 2 gentlemen who goes by the name of "RASC" and "rfari". Be very careful how you respond to their posts where they have made numerous allegations against the current government and the prime minister of this country which is criminal in nature, they have made allegations on this thread which could bring unwanted attention from the authorities which I feel is not needed by management of this website or anyone of us here.
If you read the rules on this website you would see what they are doing is completely out of line and reckless. I am surprised that management has turned a blind eye to this.

These 2 gentlemen seem like very dangerous people to me and I suggest you stay away from them.
this is my 2 cents on this matter. As for politics and which party I support, I do not support any party. However it seems obvious that the PNM is a dangerous party judging from what these 2 individuals have been posting, if this is the manner in which the members of that party behaves then I want no part of it.

Dem checks be like UNC voter padding where it was found that two PNM ppl got convicted when the truth came out.

I'm just shocked RS has a wife.

eh, allyuh hire me for paid blogging nah...dead serious.........

[Redman]

Well I guess the answer lies in how Ross advertising booked the revenue....those docs being manipulated as we speak....

since there is no one to investigate-no IC/TTPS waiting on a report this too will pass as unsubstantiated accusations

[Hyperion]

how many accounts will be created bet now and June 17th?

1, 2, 3, 4.....too much to count.

With the kind of cr@p these new bloggers posting it would appear that the pp has exhausted their UWI pool and are now employing primary school children. Who knows, maybe on the free laptops there is a link to the tuner registration page.

At any rate it seems that they are all being trained to employ vitriol and baseless emotional rantings, logic gone out the window.

Ofttimes I wonder about some of the posters on this website. I took time to review a few of the political threads to get a sense of the discussion, the participants, the direction of the discussion. And this poster that calls himself 'rfari' stands apart for the usual sensible debate to impact his criminal intent in the discussions.Judging by the way he chats on the forum you can tell that he is of a criminal mind, is uneducated and uncultured. I wouldn't be too surprised if he has committed serious crime as well.
He is the epitome of what is wrong with this country and society today

[Morpheus]

*annnnnnnnd popcorn mode engaged

^^^ so rfari is a criminal because he holds a different political viewpoint? trichards your behaviour is symptomatic of the party you support.

Rfari does thief all them Indian beti. Damn criminal
