Leader of the Opposition Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday blasted Stabroek News’ bloggers and other critics saying that not only was he a credible messenger on corruption issues but that with time even his worst critics will recognize this.
“My credibility is on the ground…as the days pass more and more I am going to be justified…,” Jagdeo told a press briefing yesterday.
He had been asked by Stabroek News to respond to critics and bloggers who say that he is not the best person to lead the charge of speaking out on corruption or pro-democracy governance given the myriad allegations of corruption and lack of transparency of his party, especially during his rule.
“I think our supporters would say differently and there is a large group of people out there who blog elsewhere who have an entirely different position… so I can’t respond to bloggers; they have their own opinions,” he replied.
Of recent, Jagdeo has been very vocal in his criticisms of the David Granger administration.
