The recent meeting that the Alliance for Change had with members of the US State Department has vindicated and cleared the name of the party as it relates to allegations that they had dealings with a cocaine trafficker.This is according to a senior official of the party who posited that had the US State Department been convinced that the party had dealings with cocaine traffickers no such meeting would have taken place.The official states that the visit has been a major success for the party because it has improved their profile and image, adding that the party has an improved international status.The successful visit has also allowed the party a capacity to neutralise the, “vicious and vile slanders which will be directed at us.”It was pointed out that when a staunch PPP supporter,NFL Jerseys Wholesale, who had believed “Bharrat Jagdeo’s propaganda that we are cocaine-in-pepper-sauce dealers” heard of the meeting at the State Department and confirmed that it indeed happened, he immediately realised how he was lied to by Jagdeo…Because, as he deducted, the State Department will never meet with cocaine dealers.”The party on several occasions has been accused of being in bed with a cocaine trafficker.Head-of-State Bharrat Jagdeo, while speaking at the 12th death anniversary of the late Dr. Cheddi Jagan,Wholesale Jerseys 2017, held at the Babu John Crematorium at Port Mourant,Cheap Jerseys USA, Corentyne, had asserted that someone implicated in a “cocaine in pepper sauce” bust was a major financier of the AFC.The President had also raised the issue of the financing of US-based political consultant Dick Morris for the AFC’s 2006 elections campaign and questioned how the party was able to afford his services.Jagdeo stated: “One of the pepper-sauce men that was caught with drug-dealing was a major funder of that party too…they love to accuse the PPP but go quiet sometimes; they have a lot of skeletons in their cupboard.”The official also explained that a lot of the persons who had disapproved of some of the decisions taken by the party such as rotating leadership the ruling out of any alliances with the PNCR and the PPPC, had simply misunderstood the reasons.“Once the explanation is given to them, they just light up. So lots of educational and public relations work on these matters must be done… Those who have not been supportive of our positions simply have not understood these positions on these material issues; they must have these explained to them.”The official explained that it was amazing to learn of the level of support that the overseas delegation received.“Some just like the novelty of this organisation. But most like our credibility and integrity,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, and a sticking to core principles…This is something we must tap into.”Alliance for Change Chairman Khemraj Ramjattan along with several high ranking members of the party recently travelled to the US where several meetings were held.Meetings were held with Kathryn Striffolino of Amnesty International, Ambassador Charles Shapiro, US State Department, Senior Advisor for Economic Initiatives, Bureau of Western Hemispheric Affairs, and Bob Piehel,NFL Jerseys Cheap Authentic, Southern Caribbean Desk Officer, Office of Caribbean Affairs also with Matthew Canzer,Cheap NFL Jerseys, Political Advisor US Mission at United Nations at the Waldorf Astoria among others.The reasons behind the visit by the AFC to the US had attracted severe criticism.
