PPP had nothing to do with attack on Freddie Kissoon – Ramotar

Jun 03, 2010 News

General Secretary of the Peoples Progressive Party Donald Ramotar has condemned the recent attack on University of Guyana Lecturer and Kaieteur News Columnist Frederick Kissoon.
Ramotar insists that his party had nothing to do with the attack as has been suggested in some quarters. The party’s General Secretary said that it was a damning thing to do and his party in no way operates in that manner.
Kissoon was attacked two days before Guyana celebrated its 44th Independence anniversary when an unknown assailant threw excrement on him.
Kissoon had just emerged from Nigel’s Supermarket on Robb Street and had already entered his vehicle when the man walked up and threw the substance on him.
Although momentarily stunned by the attack, Kissoon managed to drive behind the perpetrator who ran north along Light Street then west into North Road before jumping into a waiting white AT 192 Toyota Carina motorcar and escaping
A soiled Kissoon tried to intercept the car but backed off to avoid a collision.
The popular columnist believes that the attack was connected to an article which was published on the same day. The article dealt with Nicole Ming and her relationship with the President
In the article, Kissoon suggested that he had damning information on the 19-year-old woman, who has implicated former chief executive officer of the Alliance For Change, Peter Ramsaroop in an illegal spying scandal.
It was the second time that Kissoon has come under physical attack for his critical comments on issues that are deemed anti-government.
In 2004, Kissoon was attacked and had his vehicle stolen. It was recovered a short distance from Kaieteur News a few hours later.
Following the recent attack there have been several entities that have voiced condemnation, including the Office of the President, but this has not silenced the speculation. The matter is still under investigation and no person has been charged to date.
