Dear Editor,
Kindly permit response in relation to Mr. Freddie Kissoon’s article dated January 3, 2018. During the festive season Freddie called me on my cellular phone laughing about the Article in which he took my Christmas joke and turned it into a Column.
I told him very frankly that I was upset with him and that I am loyal to the coalition Government. I then asked him why he is constantly attacking the AFC. To this question, he started laughing on the phone continuously. He then said to me that AFC is an ungrateful party. I told him we aren’t.
I then said to Mr. Kissoon that I was reliably informed by a well-placed politician that both himself and wife were offered jobs and he, Freddie Kissoon, refused both offers.
Mr. Kissoon then asked me to name the source and when I refused to do so, he then became very furious.
With respect to the job offer for his wife, he admitted that he has knowledge that something to this effect was brought up with leadership of the AFC by one of its executive members but he cannot say what the current position of the matter is. With respect to himself and the job offer he categorically denied this.
On this occasion, unlike the previous one, Mr. Kissoon asked my permission to quote me in relation to the job offers which is commendable, but, he has done so quite partially with a deliberate omission.
The time is ripe for Mr Freddie Kissoon, with his wealth of Knowledge to assist in fixing some of our major problems in Guyana and not throw up his hands in disgust and pessimism over matters such as blackouts which have been with us from the time immemorial.
Regards
Carlyle Goring
