I don’t suppose former Finance Minister Winston Jordan is a dyed-in-the-wool PNC “comrade”. (I’ll never know unless I ask him.) But he was a faithful professional Brigadier-Leader’s man. And the Brigadier was both PNC and (something named) APNU Leader.
However I find the finance/accountant Comrade most interesting for a few reason. Why? I seem to recall him heading the Finance Ministry’s Office of the Budget. Under former Finance Minister and President Bharrat Jagdeo. (In 2015 I heard Mr. Jagdeo throwing quips at him in Parliament after he became the brand-new Coalition Finance Czar). In a rush of blood perhaps, Jordan once threatened “war break” during a PNC/“APNU” campaign outing in an hinterland location. That was uncharacteristic and somewhat “political” of him now, bless his loyal Granger-soul, he has been given to writing stout, reasonably-persuasive letters of defence explaining his coalition’s fiscal and economic policies and it is his most recent spirited response to the anonymous “Peeping Tom” Column in Kaieteur News which occasioned this piece.
