Time for Freddie to change

YOUR readers are well aware that I’m no fan of Kaieteur News columnist, Frederick Kissoon. His daily vilification of the PPP/C Administration; his inability to acknowledge progress in Guyana; and his regular unfounded criticism of the land of my birth, has caused me to classify Kissoon as bias, irresponsible and reckless, corrupting the minds of his readers.
As an ardent reader of Kaieteur News, and a regular contributor to its letter pages, I am very familiar with Kissoon’s grammatical style of writing. In previous letters, I’ve written about his abuse and misuse of “big words” that seem to fill his inflated ego. But I was appalled at the disgusting postings made on the facebook page of Kaieteur News Editor-in-Chief, Adam Harris, using the name of Frederick Kissoon.

Gutter politics has no place in a developing Guyana.
I further call upon the Government of Guyana to pursue laws that would give the Attorney General the powers to prevent, investigate, and prosecute computer crimes, including slander, by working with other government agencies, the private sector, academic institutions, and foreign counterparts to do so.
During the recent election campaign, Benschop Radio, an internet radio station operated by anti-PPP/C activist Mark Benschop, was notorious in propagating lies and slandering the characters of innocent people, I included. Cyber-laws should be introduced to shut this station down if this trend continues. Having a licence to operate a radio station should not permit one to act irresponsibly.
Freddie Kissoon’s venomous attacks on the Administration will continue daily. But I hope he realizes that his daily rants may be creating monsters determined to get even with him. As the old people would say, “You can’t go to crab dance and don’t expect to get mud.”
In previous letters, I called upon Kissoon to be more responsible with his rhetoric. Perhaps it is time now for him to do so.
