President Ramotar should honour this outstanding obligation
Dear Editor,
Kindly allow me to respond to the Freddie Kissoon column of Friday October 19, 2012 entitled “Things are Brown but Brown is Coming”.
The second paragraph had some errors that need to be corrected. At no time did the Theatre Guild loan its Playhouse to the Carifesta Secretariat. The use of the Playhouse was a rental. We are still to receive the said monies due for this rental.
The third paragraph I find amazing in that Freddie Kissoon assumed: That he knows the position of Dr. Paloma Mohamed, who is the current Chairperson of the Theatre Guild, who in her capacity as a Dean at the University of Guyana on the issue of the former Chancellor Dr. Compton Bourne.
No one, who is associated with the Theatre Guild, has ever been silent on the issue of the Carifesta rental.
It is absurd of Freddie Kissoon to attack Dr. Ian McDonald on this outstanding matter of the rental of the Theatre Guild by the government of Guyana during Carifesta.
It is particular and peculiar that the government has not honoured this obligation. This default creates a distortion in an otherwise successful achievement of the then President.
I am hopeful that the current President, his Excellency Mr. Donald Ramotar will instruct his competent Minister to honour this outstanding obligation thereby clearing a distortion on the reputation of his predecessor.
