DEAR EDITOR,
My attention was drawn to certain statements published in “Dem boys seh column” on 28th February, 2014, which, expressly and by implication, conveyed the impression that tax payers dollars was improperly used by the Attorney-General Chambers and Ministry of Legal Affairs because the presentation of the Revised Laws of Guyana [2014] was held at the Conference Room of the Sleepin International Hotel. Reference was made to the known friendship of the Honourable Attorney-General and the Ministry of Affairs and the owner of that establishment.
Please be informed that the decision to hold the event at that location was exclusively mine. It was inspired by a singular consideration, which is, that the conference facility at Sleepin International Hotel was offered to the Ministry free of cost for that event. The implications of impropriety by your publications are therefore as erroneous as they are unfortunate.
Besmirching people’s character and reputation as a means of livelihood must be a most tortured existence. Ms. Indira Anandjit Permanent Secretary Ministry of Legal Affairs
