I never sought or took advice from Ms. Teixeira

Oct 28, 2012 Letters

Dear Editor,

In yesterday’s (October 25th) Kaieteur News Mr. Freddie Kissoon twice mentions my name in a piece on page 10 entitled, the ‘Tenth Parliament or the Failed Parliament?’. In the first of the two references that purported to show why there is great public disappointment over the Opposition’s performance he alleged that, ‘in a vote that saw APNU’s Carl Greenidge taking advice from Gail Teixeira that he, Greenidge as chairman of the Committee could not vote’ .

In addition to the events being erroneous the article only mention’s two Opposition MPs by name, one in passing and the other, myself, apparently in dereliction of duty. These unequivocal assertions are utterly erroneous and have been repeated in spite of this fact being drawn to the editor’s attention in relation to a similar piece by Mr. Maxwell published on June 8th 2012. To date neither has Mr. Maxwell’s assertions been retracted nor a satisfactory answer provided for the inaction.
Please be informed that nowhere do the records of the PAC proceedings show that I either received or sought advice from Ms Teixeira.
In view of these facts I should be grateful if you would draw the matter to Mr. Kissoon’s attention with a view to a having him publish a retraction of the allegation as a matter of urgency and no later than Monday next since you would already have had time to consider the issue.

The matter of Maxwell will be pursued by the lawyer who wrote the Editor on July 31st, if I do not have a similar resolution within a few days.

Carl B. Greenidge
