Defending Brassington

May 12, 2010 Letters

Dear Editor,
I refer to your news report on the 11/5/2010 about a meeting you claimed I had with the potential investors in the Marriot Hotel project. For the record I wish to state that, at the request of Mr. Winston White, a social friend of many years, we met at the Pegasus Hotel informally where I learnt the purpose of his visit to Guyana. During our interface which lasted less than 40 minutes, there was no discussion about the purported investment above and, in any event, it is not within my portfolio to undertake.
At no time was Mr. W. Brassington present.
Kindly let the reading public, local and international, have access to these facts.
Hon. Charles R. Ramson S.C.,M.P.
Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs.

Editor’s note:
At no time did the report contend that Mr Ramson and Mr Brassington were at the meeting at the same time. Further, unless Mr Ramson was with Mr Brassington together all the time, Mr Ramson is making bold to infer that Mr Brassington never met with with Mr Winston White.
