Dear Mr.Kissoon,
I read your comments in your column on Tuesday September 11 concerning the COI that was established to enquire and report to Roraima Airways
management its findings and recommendations concerning the discovery of illicit drugs during the delivery of catering services by an aviation security agent (AVSEC) at the Cheddi Jagan International on Monday September 3, 2012.

Just to clarify in case you missed it, the COI was established to probe the event and examine our SOPs, as an internal enquiry for the information and if necessary corrective action by the administration of Roraima Airways

The findings will be used by us to improve our own internal systems so as to hopefully make it more difficult for such an event recurring.

The COI is not meant at any time to interfere with or substitute the work of the state’s law enforcement agencies, nor is it going to be examining their systems, procedures, or their roles.

I am not sure I understand your comments concerning Mr. Bond’s involvement in this COI.  He is a young, professional lawyer and in my opinion is respected for his independence and intelligence. This is not a political issue.
Just so you know, Mr. Nigel Hughes is both my personal lawyer and my company’s corporate lawyer and has been so for many years, while Mr. Chris Ram has been my company’s auditors for 18 years.

And what is your point about Mr. Bond?
