A letter captioned “Supporting Malpractice, It seems” appearing in the Kaieteur News of Friday July 8, 2011, by an author whose name was withheld, shows the pinnacle of gutter journalism. This letter is not only fallaciously riddled, but the allegations are malicious, unfounded and aimed solely at discrediting my character as Regional Executive Officer. For far too long persons are allowed to pen letters to the editors of the dailies, withholding their names and using the cover of anonymity to slander, degrade, and air their subjective views to sway public perceptions on public officers. As such Kaieteur News should publish the name of the author, or cease forthwith in publishing such libelous letters.
