I am kindly asking you to please publish this letter in your newspaper, since columnist Freddie Kissoon through his Defence Counsel Mr. Nigel Hughes told the court on Thursday December 23, 2010 when Kissoon appeared at the Georgetown Magistrate Court Seven charged with obstruction by a pedestrian, that his client is 47 years old. Mr. Editor, myself and Kissoon attended the Guyana Oriental College on Thomas Street, where we sat in the same class, we were the same age, and in a few years I will be 60 years old, so how come Kissoon’s age is suddenly reduced to 47, the same age with President Jagdeo.
Mr. Jagdeo often referred to the five disgruntled old men who are always complaining and writing about him and the government. I assume that Kissoon is one of the old men referred to by the President.
His counsel also told the court that Kissoon has never been convicted of any offence, which is another lie. He was convicted for stealing books many years ago, but was not sentenced by the court.
