Dear Editor,
THAT ludicrous article by the Kaieteur News on November 11, “Gov’t gives out land larger than Georgetown to a single individual” has only added to the unfair, discriminating campaign of the People’s Progressive Party to ensure certain Guyanese do not attain land wealth in this country. That ludicrous article by the Kaieteur News has also sought to unfairly discredit the current government in relation to land-issuance policies.

It is now time for the Kaieteur News to issue a public apology to the government and Mr Kirk Hollingsworth. I have noted the Kaieteur News claiming that the information in the official gazette was incorrect. I however know that good journalistic qualities demand that one check and check again, because once information is published it cannot be undone.
The KN has caused the government and Mr Hollingsworth incredible embarrassment because of their inability to dish out factual information and provided more fake news and propaganda material for the desperate PPP. How can an experienced newspaper like KN, which has been around for more than two decades, make such an immature mistake? How can 3200 acres of land be larger than Georgetown? Where in the mentioned location is that amount of land available to be given to this one individual, or did the KN conclude that the government would have sold residents and their homes to this one person without them even knowing?

Editor, Kaieteur News must undo what it has done, because such discouraging information could be toxic in this very fragile political climate. Kaieteur must make a public apology with the same prominence it gave the initial article.

Regards
Peter Joseph
