 History

Mr. Moses Nagamootoo was born in the village of Whim, in the eastern County
of Berbice, Guyana. He is of Tamil ethnicity. Nagamootoo worked as
a teacher and journalist, and later became a lawyer. After high school, he co-
founded the De Edwards/Rosignal High School in the late 1960s. At that school he
taught mainly Economics and British Constitution with great passion and
enthusiasm, which were new subjects to the aspiring students in the West Coast
Berbice, Guyana area. One of his students went on to major as a PhD. in
economics and now teaches that subject at the University of California, Berkeley
Extension, CA, USA. He was elected to Parliament in 1992 as a People's
Progressive Party MP and subsequently served as Minister of Information and
Minister of Local Government. He remained in Cabinet under the presidencies
of Cheddi Jagan, Samuel Hinds, Janet Jagan and Bharrat Jagdeo. He resigned as
Minister in 2000 but remained an MP until 2011, when he resigned from the PPP,
having first joined in 1964. As a leader of the PPP, Nagamootoo received the fifth-
highest number of votes (595) in the election to the PPP Central Committee at its
29th Congress on August 2, 2008. Nagamootoo was rumoured to be a potential
PPP candidate for President in 2011; however, he resigned from the party on
October 24, 2011, citing the need for "more ideas and a new conversation
about Guyana's economic and foreign policy future". He joined the
opposition Alliance For Change (AFC) in October 2011 and was re-elected to
Parliament. Following the opposition's victory in the May 2015 general election,
Nagamootoo was sworn in as Prime Minister and First Vice-President on 20 May
2015.[3] Nagamootoo briefly took charge of presidential duties on 12 June 2015
while President David A. Granger was visiting the United States. Moses

1950s and 1960s.
