Dear Editor,
I wish to refer to Mr. Vincent Alexander’s letter in the caption “FOUR VICE CHANCELLORS RULED ON THE MATTER” of your issue Wednesday 23,2016.
I am one of the three students affected by Alexander’s cruel action as Registrar (ag) University of Guyana because Mr. David Chanderbali, Registrar, was regrettably on leave for one reason or the other during the period in question.
The first point to note is that Mr. VINCENT ALEXANDER, is to this day, seeking to confuse the reading public, but thankfully the public is not stupid. He informs the public that we were not students of the University of Guyana at the material time ,because fees due were not fully paid by Mr. Sheik Mustapha, Mr. Clairmonte Cox and myself.
We were all properly and fully registered as students of the University of Guyana to read for our Law Degrees. Our registration through the Department of Law and Faculty of Social Sciences for the programme conferred on each of us the status of bona fide students in the Department of Law, University of Guyana. The University never wrote either of us demanding fees because it was known by officers of the University that we had individual applications to the Ministry of Finance for funding through the Ministry’s revolving students’ loan fund. We were each told by operatives at the MINISTRY’S TURKEYEN CAMPUS OFFICE AND CENTRAL MINISTRY THAT THE INDIVIDUAL APPLICATIONS WERE BEING PROCESSED. We relied on them.
I now wish to bring to the world’s attention the “goodness” and “Godliness” of Mr. Vincent Alexander and others in this matter. Mr CLAIRMONTE COX was granted the first loan, and from the Ministry’s records, a copy of which he has, he had until August 2006 to discharge the repayment, yet his results were withheld from 2003 until 2013. His results were released on Vincent Alexander’s letter head. A prudent reader may ask the lawyer’s questions, how valid are these grades that Mr. Alexander in writing said never existed? Were they tampered with? Mr. Vincent Alexander is herby urged, and the media is strongly advised to go to the registry of the High Court on Avenue of the Republic to read carefully and see that Mr Vincent Alexander wrote Mr. Cox and said to him ‘you are not a student and therefore there is no results for you official or otherwise….” Mr. Editor, I should be able to produce a similar letter sent to me by the “humane” Vincent Alexander.
Mr Vincent Alexander is a proud holder of a Soviet Masters of Laws (LL.M) Degree. He has sensitised the world that we may not have clean hands. But by his own words he said four Vice Chancellors ruled on the matter, but neither of us was informed whether it was an assembly of Vice Chancellors as a body or individually when each took office. He admits he was part of the process. Clearly the cardinal principles of natural justice were not observed. I hope Mr SAPHIER HUSSAIN and other lawyers come to the assistance of Mr. Sheik Mustapha and John Marcus to have those decisions quashed by certiorari. Thank you, Mr. Alexander.
Mr. Alexander shows no remorse, even at this point in time and to these glaring injustices has publicly accused Mr. Clairmonte Cox, Mr. Sheik Mustapha and myself of the crime of conspiracy etc. We wrote the exams collectively on fifty (50) odd occasions during the period. What is ironical and moreso laughable is that Mr. Alexander as a diligent and competent Registrar, never had either of us prevented from so doing, either by personal action, or instructions to his officers in the registry or the invigilators. He did nothing. The crime of conspiracy is not a lonely soldier. If we conspired, we did not. I ask persons not to impute that he (Alexander) or his agents aided and abetted knowingly, negligently or recklessly.
Finally,on the Nation Watch APNU programme of 2nd January,2005 , Alexander, in response to a caller’s enquiry on my matter and the relentless pursuit of the law degree, said that Mr. Marcus’s problem is a PPP policy matter. Mr Vincent Alexander has wronged us with hideous cruelty. Editor, please give this letter the same prominence as Vincent Alexander’s. My side needs to be ventilated.
John Marcus
