Dear Editor,
With reference to a response the management team of the security firm I work with on the issue of my stolen motorcycle, I must state that I am not surprised that they would go the extra mile to twist the situation, while labelling my article as, “misinformation, libellous and deceitful.” To this, let their conscience be their guide.
However, I would like for them to state who checked my motorcycle to verify that it wasn’t locked. Moreso, why would they check to see if it was locked? Can the evidence be provided? Further, those senior officers that apparently I told that I did not lock my motorcycle apparently are living in an imaginary bubble. I must state categorically clear for the record that my motorcycle was locked and I’m still in possession of the key.
Secondly, their fragmented letter stated that I opted to use my motorcycle instead of their trike (three wheeled motorcycle) and this is insurmountably false. I am asking that the person who typed this ridiculous article to give the accurate information to the public. This trike was only extended to me after I enquired about how I will be able to complete my work as Inspector, due to the fact that my motorcycle was stolen. This was offered to do only the company’s work. It would be rather foolish for me to forget about my motorcycle while everyone continued their routine work while I remain without the benefits of my own personal transportation.
Their third point stated that my motorcycle was parked, “nowhere in the vicinity of their headquarters,” and out of the sight of their security cameras and sentry. This is a statement that is not logical. Apparently the person who typed this letter has no clue of the matter. Firstly, they need to understand the meaning of the word VICINITY. After this, they need to decide on a course of action whether I parked next door or perhaps another street. Why not explain to the public that this well-established security service’s cameras were not working – as told to myself, the detective and my surveillance technician. Apparently I am on record saying and doing things but these records conveniently capture what the service wants to capture.
The fifth paragraph has me baffled as they are quoting me as being in “dire need of extra income” and as a bitter guy who cannot accept responsibility. Why not let the General Manager explain that she was the one who encouraged me to bring in an application because she knows of my abilities, then further recommended me to the CEO. On the other hand for your humble clarification, I did not retrieve my documents from Bourda Post Office.
Finally, it is rather degenerating having to indirectly threaten the other newspaper for publishing my article while holding them as hostage indicating that purchases are made daily while they are being supported through ads. Correct me if I’m wrong but letters to the Editor does not in any way represent the Editor nor their team.
Apparently my article was misunderstood and it seems as though Management at the security firm is also working as Public Relations Officers for the Guyana Police Force. I am not asking for the Police at Alberttown Station to wake the dead or to perform miraculous wonders but rather to do the job they are being paid to do in an effective and timely manner.
