A story posted on Coup Four and a Half on June 17 alluded that the National Farmers Union owed the collapsed NBF $600, and, by innuendo, alleged that former FLP parliamentarian Lekh Ram Vayeshnoi may not have paid back the $23,000 borrowed from the bank by one Lekh Ram.

“This man is nuts. He is a pervert who does not hesitate to descend to gutter level journalism to discredit his political opponents.

“I have never had dealings with the NBF, let alone borrow any money from them.

“But I am told that Victor owed a lot of people money here before he fled to the UK and sought residency there as a refugee in the wake of the 1987 coup.

“NFU owing $600 to NBF is a laugh. There is no record of any such debt in our books”, said Mr. Vayeshnoi who, is also the general treasurer of the Union.
