ONCE again, Kaieteur News is making a concerted effort to make unfounded allegations against the PPP/C. This time it is targeting a Minister of Government, Mr. Irfaan Ali, to cast suspicion and tarnish his character. Nothing they claimed or printed has any basis in reality, and only forms part of the organised opposition political agenda.
There is obviously an ongoing character assassination campaign by Kaieteur News, and its architects are not interested in the truth, but are instead selective in their so-called investigative reports.
It is interesting to note that no effort was made to expose Debbie Backer and Steve Backer’s role in the Globe Trust scandal that resulted in hundreds of Afro-Guyanese losing their savings, and now the very Ms. Backer is being touted to be Speaker of the National Assembly.
Additionally, the same Steve Backer was also removed by the then Chairman of the GNCB, Mr. Lance Carberry for mismanagement and other activities at the Guyana National Cooperative Bank. His actions along with those of Debbie Backer resulted in the collapse of the GNCB and Globe Trust.
I do hope that her aspirations of becoming the Speaker will be short- lived and that she is recognised by all Guyanese for her roles in the bank’s demise.
Kaieteur News reports show a clear opposition bias and have brought its tattered reputation into further disrepute with its constant attacks on the government. These acts of irresponsible and biased journalism must be condemned by all civil-minded Guyanese that are interested in taking Guyana to greater heights.
