A stranger to the truth

Oct 17, 2020 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

I crave your indulgence to comment, in your Letters to the Editor column, on Kissoon’s Kaieteur News column of October 16, 2020.
While much of what Kissoon wrote in that column is slanderous, I have opted to respond here since I am convinced that the exposure of Kissoon mirroring himself will serve the public much better than engaging in a protracted process to protest his attempt at vilification, since I am convinced that no sane or objective person will entertain his diatribe, once he is exposed.
Kissoon’s column of October 16, 2020 is characterized by one thing: his downright misrepresentation of the facts and as a consequence his duplicity. I now join an endless band of persons who have in terms accused and proven Kissoon to be a good author of Nancy stories. It is unfortunate that he veils that under the titles of academic and columnist thus besmirching and bringing both occupations into disrepute.
To the chase. Kissoon contends that, “this same chairman would have been sitting with the PMs”. At no time during the PMs’ visit did I sit or have any contact with them. Kissoon’s contention is therefore built on an untruth and cannot be the basis for the conclusion that I am ‘two faced’. How could a self-proclaimed academic and journalist be so fallacious in his representations to the public? Yet he accuses me of duplicity based an outright made up story.
Kissoon’s second Nancy story is that I proposed an election result that had been thrown out by the court. Lowenfield’s first report predated any ruling by any court on the results of the elections, therefore Kissoon’s information is once again erroneous and his conclusion/accusation baseless.
Kissoon’s best representation of his duplicity is his proposition that “looking back maybe Boodhoo should not have conceded that Alexander was right in 2011.” For his information, Boodhoo did not concede that Alexander was right. Given the exposure of what Boodhoo had done, the entire Commission ruled that he was wrong.
Even if Kissoon had proven me wrong, does one wrong justify another? That’s Kissoon’s logic.
In all that he has said, he is a downright illogical and a stranger to the truth.
