This letter pertains to Christopher Ram’s response to the Guyana Forestry Commission’s (GFC) Corporate Secretary Jacy Archibald’s open letter to Bulkan, Palmer, Ram, TIGI, et al.Christopher Ram, in his letter to Kaieteur News (KN), is denying that he used the word “discrepancies” in his misleading comments on the GFC’s 2005-2012 Annual reports (KN 1st Sept 2014). If Ram is denying that he used “discrepancies” then he should refer to KN Sunday 24th August 2014. He should therefore say that it is KN which misquoted him and let KN know and not keep denying. Can Ram say if he is reading his articles or not reading his articles?
Why is Ram side-tracking the fact that he questioned the Auditor General’s qualified opinion of the GFC’s audited financial statements presented to Parliament? Did he read or did not read his own column, also the National Forest Plan and National Policy before making erroneous and misleading statements? In relation to the huge fluctuations of the GFC’s income and expenses did Ram say, or did not say what is the problem with this? Did he say or say not that he, Bulkan and Palmer are fused with the political opposition to mischievously mislead the public?
Ram, Bulkan and Palmer did not say anything when the illegal PNC Government did not submit Public Accounts for over 10 years. Why are Ram, Bulkan and Palmer not writing about this? They are engaged only in selective and deceptive reporting, which shows their anti-Government agenda. Do you agree or disagree, Mr. Ram?
On another issue, President Donald Ramotar is calling on David Granger, leader of the PNC to “bring back the guns” that the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) loaned to the PNC (Chronicle Fri Aug 30, 2014). But Christopher Ram seems to be defending Granger when he said that “the President’s comments about Granger were distasteful and inappropriate” (KN Sun Aug, 2014): Do you agree Mr. Ram? Further, I think that Phillip Bynoe should challenge Ram to a public debate.
