The front man for lies and distortions

Mar 12, 2011 Letters

Dear Editor,
I have noticed that (Kaieteur News) print letters by Prem Misir and for that you are to be congratulated, because it exemplifies what a free press is really about; I wonder if my letters would be printed in the Chronicle?
Misir would be against my letters being printed, I am sure. His analyses in his letters are so distorted and filled with government propaganda that he should be ashamed of himself as he should have been a free thinker, with all the education he supposedly has.
Kaieteur News should check out his writings in publications in New York in the late 1990s and early 2000s where his bias and questionable thoughts on racial matters pertaining to Guyanese politics can be detected.
Misir, who is a “big gun” at the University of Guyana, enjoying all the benefits thereof, never writes about the terrible inadequacies and ridiculous conditions facing our young people who are desperately trying to get a decent education; he never writes about the facilities at UG which are inadequate and in deplorable conditions, like the toilets, the library, the buildings; he never writes about the inadequate salaries the professors and staff receive (I wonder what his salary and perks amount to) and he certainly never writes about how the whole structure of the administration, which he’s a part of, is subjected to governmental intrusion and is put in a position of a dog waiting for a bone from it’s master, Misir’s perfect government.
Mr. Editor, Misir never writes about the lack of proper books for the students or the research money so professors could do their jobs and increase their professional intercourse to expand their knowledge and teaching abilities; he never writes about the good things folks like the Beharrys did in building dorms for our kids nor does he write about the upkeep of those dorms and the stipulations which the Beharry group probable demanded when they committed to the project; he never writes about security and safety at UG when our young women have to attend classes in the evening and the lighting facilities are much less than desired; he never writes about the lack of proper laboratories for our science students who will help to secure a future of science and technology – and the list can go on and on with things which Misir should be paying attention to as a “big gun” at UG.
But no, Mr. Editor, Misir is really not interested in UG; all he is interested in is political propaganda in it’s most long-winded form where he is unabashedly the front man for lies and distortions, all covered by a silky laminate of intellectualism, but, in the end, fooling no-one.
