I WAS not surprised to see Kaieteur News publishing an apology for Freddie Kissoon (2015-01-12), “Correction to Freddie’s letter on Prem Misir”.Kissoon loves to attack people and tarnish their reputations and almost all the time his information is inaccurate.

He publishes information on Dr. Prem Misir which is far from being correct. Instead of acknowledging that Dr. Misir received his doctorate from Hull University, Kissoon comes up with a ridiculous fabrication-North Lancashire university.

Vishnu Bisram was right on this trait of Kissoon. While Kaieteur news did the right thing in offering an apology, the damage to Mr. Misir’s character is huge. This unethical practice must stop. Kaieteur News needs to censure Kissoon.

In a situation where Kissoon has erred with his data, he should be given a one week suspension from publishing any article and when he resumes his writing, he must validate his information.

By the way, this task will be difficult for Kissoon because everyone knows that he does not like to research but publishes anything that he thinks will strengthen the position he wants to take. There is another dimension to this error by Kissoon. Why is it Kaieteur News has to apologise and not Kissoon? Is it that Glenn Lall is covering for Kissoon because Kissoon is doing his dirty work for him? Probably Lall does not have the (testicular fortitude) to ask Kissoon to apologise. And why is this correction published in the Letter section of Kaieteur News? Kissoon seems to have a lot of power over the Waterfalls Boss! Interesting!

In his letter (2015-01-11) Kissoon is actually trying to influence the learned Ombudsman. This is what he is also doing in his libel case with Dr. Jagdeo. This is unethical. He attacks a number of persons like Mr. Pulandar Kanhai, Ms. Gail Teixeira, Ms. Indra Chandarpal and Dr. Prem Misir. No one responds to Kissoon because they do not want to lower themselves to his level, but people need to stand up to this foolishness that Kissoon has been getting away with for too long.

How many reputations and characters must be destroyed by Kissoon and Kaieteur News before people speak up? In this letter Kissoon mentions that, “my research and teaching profile was millions of miles ahead of others”. Seriously, Kissoon? Are you talking about research? You must be mistaken? Please publish your research papers for everyone to see. And what yardstick did you use to determine that you are miles ahead of others. It must be the same one that you used to determine that Dr. Misir went to North Lancaster University. Kissoon, your slip is showing and it has no laces but big holes near the rear end!
