Dear Editor,
I refer to a letter by Mr. Annan Boodram (“OAS says no discussion occurred on Mr. Bisram,” Aug 31). I am going to adopt a four-prong approach in my reply to Boodram. First, I will use his methodology.
He wrote last week that because Freddie says Bisram does not do polls, it means Bisram does not do polls. So because Boodram says no OAS discussion on Bisram took place, it means it didn’t take place. Secondly, why should we believe anything Bisram and Boodram write? Let me say unambiguously, I do not believe that the OAS Assistant-General Secretary ever spoke to someone by the name of Annan Boodram. I doubt that anyone familiar with the fictions and evasiveness of Boodram and Bisram would believe anything these two expatriates say
Thirdly, how nice to know that Bisram and Boodram are capable of making inquiries. Bisram wants MP, Sheila Holders to account for what I wrote about the OAS meeting that rejected him as a genuine pollster and Boodram went, so far, as he claimed, to contact the OAS for information. So why don’t Bisram and Boodram answer the queries of Guyanese-Canadian scientist, Dr. Anand Daljeet. Just as Bisram and Boodram can make enquiries of other people, why don’t they answer enquiries made of them? I can imagine the contempt people of responsibility in this country have for the so-called polls of Mr. Bisram. I could imagine the feeling of Parliamentarian, Sheila Holder in having to dignify Bisram with a reply
My fifth approach is that I will make available the documentation on Bisram that took place at the Peer Review meeting of the OAS. Here is the deal. Either Bisram and Boodram agree or they should be shut out from even the letter pages of the newspapers. I will submit the proceedings of the meeting in which Bisram came in for severe criticism as a fake pollster by one of the plenary sessions of the OAS meeting to the editors of the Kaieteur News and the SN and the President of the Guyana Press Association. In return, Mr. Bisram must submit the name, address, (both postal and e-mail) and telephone numbers of the school he teaches at in New York and which forms he tutors and the subjects he lectures on.
Could he kindly state who the Head of the school is? Secondly, he must name the executives (can’t be more than six or eight) of NACTA, and supply addresses and telephone numbers of same
Let me remind readers that I have asked the Guyana Press Association to press Bisram on the transparency of his organisation, polls and status.
That is coming and when it happens one wonders what Bisram and Boodram will do.
