Dec 14, 2019 Letters
DEAR EDITOR,
Please note that in my letter, published in your papers on December 12, 2019, I stated that Professor Ellis was a staffer at the US Embassy in Georgetown, Guyana. I write to correct that assertion. In fact Professor Ellis is employed with the US State Department, the Department that oversees US Embassies around the world.
I therefore, find the comments attributed to the professor, even more concerning. Maybe, the State Department can offer a more fulsome comment on the matter. Guyanese, going to the polls in March should have no doubt that their elections would not be affected by external influence. The State Department can give them this assurance. I regret any confusion my statement about Professor Ellis’s current place of employment might have caused. Apart from this, general sentiments expressed in my 12/12/19 letter stand.
Sincerely
Lurlene Nestor
