Mrs. Holder asked to confirm Kissoon’s claims

AS a journalist and as an aggrieved party to an unsubstantiated attack, I am making a public appeal to AFC’s parliamentarian, Mrs. Sheila Holder, to confirm the several claims made by Freddie Kissoon in his column (KN) of Aug 24. It seems rather odd that an OAS gathering will have on its agenda a topic for discussion of two pollsters -Vishnu Bisram and Ramsamoosh of Trinidad. 

Among Freddie’s claims, the OAS gathering made a decision to investigate these two pollsters for making up poll results and the OAS will form and fund a Caribbean Association of Pollsters – I would love to see the latter one implemented.

Freddie has had a history of distorting peoples’ views, misleading readers about facts, and or outright lying.  I met Sister Sheila several times in NY and in Guyana and even travelled with her once from JFK to Trinidad (she to Guyana).  My polling professionalism was impugned by Freddie and my character was smeared without any evidence offered. Freddie claims Sheila is the source of his information which was obtained by Sheila as a participant at an OAS gathering in Miami.  Freddie invites media people to contact Sheila for more information about Bisram. 

I publicly (have nothing to hide) invite the media to obtain more information about me and my polls as discussed at the Miami meeting from Sheila.  I also invite and urge Sheila to release everything about me that was discussed at the Miami confab.

I am seeking clarification of Freddie’s claims as a journalist in NY as well as the subject of the topic that Sheila discussed with Freddie.  Sister Sheila could you please confirm the following:

1. Are the claims Freddie made about me an accurate reflection of your discussions with him? 

2. Are the claims in Freddie’s column an accurate reflection of what transpired in Miami? 

3. Was the Miami confabulation an official OAS gathering as Freddie claims you told him? Any other information that you can provide to clarify Freddie’s claims will be greatly appreciated by the reading public!
