Dear Editor,
Kindly give this response to Mr Vincent Alexander’s response “…..these students are misleading readers” similar prominence and in your publication.
The caption to his letter is the mother of all ironies, because it pregnant with inaccuracies aimed at discrediting one of the students, Mr Clairmonte Cox.
Mr Alexander sought to inform the public about studentship on a Government sponsored law programme at UWI. I am saying that Mr Alexander has acted in bad faith, because Mr Cox’s studentship at UWI is a matter between the UWI and Mr Cox. I don’t believe Mr Vincent Alexander has the authority to speak for and or on behalf of the UWI. Whatever were those issues they are irrelevant here and now and is clearly an unprovoked attack on Mr Cox and done in bad faith. What is to Mr Cox”s credit that Mr. Alexander has not mentioned is that Mr Cox’s explanation that he discharged his contractual 5 years obligation in the teaching at Central High School to present. Further Mr. Cox entered the law department at the University of Guyana to obtain a proper law degree.
I wish to draw to the reading public attention that Mr Cox has said to me that he has drawn to the notice of the editors of our dailies for the attention of their management, including their attorney(s)-at-law, that Mr Vincent Alaexander has caused them to publish wrongfully that he took a BA degree, graduated and has not discharged the repayment of the loan
Mr Sheik Mustapha and I beleived Mr Alexander’s publication and feel very disappointed in Mr Cox. Mr. Cox is vehemently denying Mr. Alexander’s carefully chronicled assertion. MY QUESTION IS, who is misleading the reading public?
I wish on behalf of Mr. Shiek Mustapha, Mr. Clairmonte Cox and myself to thank Mr Vincent Alexander for informing the government and reading public that we were awaiting the approval of our loan applications by the Ministry of Finance and that Ministry sought to pay UG on our behalf.
Ironically, according to Mr Vincent Alexander says that the University of Guyana, an agent of the state, refused the payment offered by the Ministry of Finance. We know the payment arrangement was on the advice of the Ministry of Legal Affairs. We have been speaking the truth. Editor, this letter needs to be published.
