This is harassment of the media
DEAR EDITOR,
It is unbelievable that the President has suspended a reporter from covering him at his office and at the state house.
The free press has been facing an onslaught of attacks from the President ever since he was re-elected two years ago, if not earlier.
First, it was victimization of SN with ads withdrawal, then Sharma TV station was suspended, then Kaieteur News complaints of harassment, and now Capitol News reporter Gordon Moseley has been barred from the President’s office and home.
The President should not get angry when he is criticised or when reporters contradict his statements or disproves him on issues.
This is harassment of the media. In a democracy, a President must be open and flexible to the media including to the sharpest critics. No President suspends reporters from his office or prevents them from covering him.
The President has resolved the SN issue. He should reverse the Sharma suspension and reconsider the Moseley matter.
