Will President Ramotar sanction this Minister for his misdeed?

Apr 13, 2014 Letters

Dear Editor,
Whenever I pick up the Kaieteur Newspaper, one of the first articles I look for and read is the Freddie Kissoon column. Although, I do not always agree with some of his comments, sometimes, I feel like he is a version of St. John the Baptist, a voice in the wilderness.
Freddie’s column in your Friday April 11, edition under the headline ‘Penis erection and moral politics in Guyana’ is a blast. I could not believe what is mentioned, that a Minister did to a young reporter. Where are we heading as a country when such a senior public official can inflict such verbal abuse on a woman? Was it not the other day that a fellow Minister was advocating quite vociferously about sexual harassment and abuse? Where is her voice now? I am sure that she heard about this incident. Some time ago, a Doctor from GPHC was alleged to have been involved with his stepchild. Condemnation was swift from Ministers Manickchand and Teixeira. Have they gone to sleep?
Editor, is it because of the Minister’s association that the Head of Government is not going to sanction him for this misdeed? In the Guyana Chronicle of Friday 11th, March, a headline screams out that President Ramotar is calling on Granger to apologise to Guyanese for a statement, he made on ‘drug money’ being the force behind Guyana’s economic growth. This is petty when placed alongside this serious offence committed by the ‘penis erection’ Minister on a young female reporter. This Minister should not only be made to apologise, he should be sent packing. He is an embarrassment to his Government.
These issues are becoming plentiful – with another Minister being allegedly sexually involved with two teenage sisters (one is said to have been impregnated by the Minister).
Mr. President, you have work to do. Please do your job as a man, a father and an honest Guyanese.
Delon Charles
