Azruddin Mohamed Leader of the WIN Party has publicly accused Minister of Housing and Water Susan Rodrigues of hypocrisy and corruption in a detailed Facebook post, reigniting tensions between the two figures. In his remarks, Mohamed claims that Rodrigues previously sought financial assistance from him, notably requesting money for gas and other expenses prior to the 2020 elections.
Mohamed contrasted this with Rodrigues’ current wealth and status, alleging that her recent claims of generational wealth are misleading. He expressed his disappointment that Rodrigues has failed to address lingering allegations against her, suggesting that her deflections are an attempt to avoid accountability.
Accusing the ruling People’s Progressive Party (PPP) of engaging in corrupt practices, Mohamed claimed the party is fearful of his growing support. He attributed recent media scrutiny and sanctions to political maneuvering by the PPP to undermine his credibility.
He expressed skepticism regarding Rodrigues’ explanations about her assets, asserting that undeclared properties and recent construction projects date back to her tenure as Minister of Housing. Mohamed emphasized the importance of transparency and accountability from government officials, urging Rodrigues to be truthful about her financial dealings.
Additionally, he recounted an instance where Rodrigues expressed excitement over a luxury vehicle, a Lamborghini, reinforcing his allegation of her insincerity about material wealth.
The ongoing exchange highlights the strained political landscape in Guyana, with rising scrutiny on the integrity of public officials amid claims of corruption. The situation remains dynamic, with both parties likely to continue their public exchanges in the media.
