Dear Editor,
I FEEL very sorry for Chris Ram. I read with interest a series of letters in mainstream media on Chris Ram, and I wonder how he’s been processing the contents of these letters.

The contents of all of the letters about the individual I can attest are very accurate. He indeed possesses qualities of an insecure person. He may not remember me or know me at all, but years ago in the mid-90s, I was a gardener working with the people next door to him on Waterloo Street.

And I can recall when the late Cheddi B Jagan died, I thought he was slipping into a sorry state. Almost everyday during that period, I recall seeing him walking in his yard mumbling to himself that he has to become the next President after Cheddi. I was even there when the late Janet handed over the presidency to Bharrat Jagdeo and Ram was growing more perturbed. He lamented who is Bharrat Jagdeo, it is he who has to become President.

Something is definitely wrong with the fella and he wanted to be President a very long time. It doesn’t matter which political party.

Yours sincerely,
Shankar Bhawani Mathura
