WE are witnessing a new dispensation and calls for justice and fair dealing within the government services and what should be the contribution of those who are issuing snippets of Guyana’s history. The Guyana Times newspaper is calling for Freddie Kissoon to say all he knows about the history of Guyana’s past. We have read that those who forget the past are condemned to live it. So it is good that we be reminded of the past so that unsavory aspects can be eliminated and not followed.

Members of the Central Executive Committee of the PNC have been selected and among them are Mr. Hamilton Green and Dr Faith Harding. Can Freddie tell us or remind us of the part played by Dr Harding on Election Day, in the afternoon, outside the Election Commission offices in Croal Street, Georgetown. I have been told that Freddie has video of the proceedings.

Freddie has also knowledge of how a young Afro-Guyanese woman was making a living to maintain her four children. She used to visit government departments and sell her goods. She had visited the Ministry of Mr. Green in Homestretch Avenue, and whilst there she was shot to death by one of the employees there. The lady was Rose Ann Barrow. If Freddie cannot remember Mr. Hamilton Green may remind him and us because he was present in the building when the woman was killed.

Let us put all these historical facts in the open and consider whether they contributed in the making of Guyana, in Freddie’s terminology, “failed State.”
