There are many persons out there that desperately need the IAC’s help

Feb 07, 2010 Letters

Dear Editor,
I refer to the IAC’s reply (Kaieteur News, February 3) to me signed by Ms. Pria Mahase. This is what she wrote; “The IAC is convinced that Kissoon is in dire need of help. The IAC has always been willing to provide assistance to Indo-Guyanese in need.”
The IAC has persons that are very close to it that are in desperate need of its help. The line is so long that by the time the IAC comes around to me it would have exhausted all the financial resources its gets and will have to seek more funds
Here are some of the folks on the IAC’s waiting list. The IAC should show priority and urgency in helping these poor folks because these are the people that provide the funding for the IAC:
(1) A powerful man whose wife accused him of high-tech abuse, including expelling her from the matrimonial home.
(2) Another fellow who was asked by his comrade to drop off her daughter to her home but ended up taking her to his mansion where he committed the unspeakable.
(3) Another one who entered an East Coast rum shop and beat up an 18-year-old lad that he suspected of having a relationship with his woman. It turned the kid was her relative.
(4) Yet another one who was caught on tape soliciting homosexual sex from a minor. But what about the IAC’ head, Mr. Evan Persaud? Has Ms. Mahase offered help to him as yet? He hit the headlines of all the newspapers after the University of Guyana suspended him for saying things no doubt the IAC and its benefactor, PPP have to be worried about
Shall I go on, Ms. Mahase?
We now come to patriotism. Why would the IAC have anything to do with a high-level Guyanese politician who lives in Guyana, is involved in shaping Guyana’s future but doesn’t want his children to be born in Guyana but in the US? Which other country would tolerate that. Can Ms. Mahase name another country that would accept that self-hate? Has the IAC offered help to this gentleman? Are these the people that provide leadership to the IAC?
Now for some comments in reply to Ms. Mahase’s poor attempts to fool the East Indians of Guyana which is what her party the PPP has been doing for over 60 years. Let us see what stuff Ms. Mahase it made of.
She and I will go to the people of Lusignan and if she could show them where in my writings in any newspaper or in any television commentary I referred to Mark Benschop as my hero then I will resign from UG and stop this column immediately.
If she cannot do that then she must resign from the IAC. For all the help Kissoon needs let us see what Ms. Mahase is made up. I hope the people of Lusignan are reading this so when deceivers come to their village to preach about the so-called good intentions of the PPP, they chase them out.
Finally, when is the IAC going to put on a debate in the village of Lusignan or any other East Indian village between the IAC benefactors (the PPP’s leadership) and East Indian critics like me?
Let me telegraph my thoughts to Ms. Mahase. As soon as the debate begins, I am going to ask the audience if a government, any government, should have a minister that refuses to have his children born in Guyana and if they think such a person should be voted into office. Sad though that the benefactors of the IAC (the PPP’s leadership) will never show up. Now here is where the IAC can help its benefactors.
The IAC need to offer these people counseling so as to dissolve the fear, the great trepidation they have of having open exchanges with commentators and politicians who are critical of the PPP.
Government in front of East Indian audiences. When you come to think of it, most of the politicians that provide the resources for the IAC are in need of help.
Maybe the IAC will have to initiate the largest counseling project in the Caribbean.
Frederick Kissoon
