Dear Editor,
It is incredible that someone reading my last Sunday column could read into it any reference to the Kaieteur News and what pay I receive for my KN columns. There is absolute no connection. No human being with the ability to read could read anything about the Kaieteur News in that piece.
It had to be a mistake by the publisher to think that in that column I suggested that I wasn’t paid for my commentaries. It is public knowledge that I wrote a column two weeks about that.
What the publisher means by handsome I don’t know. I am not in receipt of a handsome pay. Humans will never agree on what is good, heavy, big etc. I will leave it at that for now. I don’t know how the publisher can conclude in my last Sunday column that I was implying I was a pauper. I wish he would read my columns.
Two Sundays ago, I wrote that my home is a lower middle class house. How can a pauper build a lower middle class house? For strategic reason, I leave this discussion for now. I close with the statement that I have been in the public eyes since I entered UG in 1974.
Since that time, I know and believe that the Guyanese people have a perception of me of being open with them. I hope to continue it that way.
Most of all I know the Guyanese people cannot easily be fooled with accusations about my lack of integrity
