Frederick Kissoon was dishonest

Dear Editor, I hasten to write that Frederick Kissoon was up to mischief when he wrote that Kaieteur News reporter Nadia Guyadeen forwarded an e-mail to him. His comments were contained in his letter captioned ‘David Dabydeen is more of a politician than a scholar’ published in the Sunday, February 26 issue of Kaieteur News. Kissoon was dishonest. He came by the e-mail through me. This happened at a time when someone was hacking the computers operated by Kaieteur News. It was at the same time when someone used the Kaieteur News’ Internet Protocol (IP) address to post a threatening message to three Government Ministers. The police got involved and interviewed many persons, including me, the Editor in Chief, after inviting us to the headquarters of the Criminal Investigations Department. The e-mail came into my possession from a strange source at a time when many people were holding out Mr Kissoon to be a liar. I happened to inform him that I had been sent a series of e-mails from an interesting Government source and that one of them would be of interest to him. It is to my regret today that I tried to be of help to Mr Kissoon because in a most unnecessary and irresponsible manner, he is now holding up a young and up and coming business executive to ridicule. Miss Guyadeen never shared the e-mail. If Kissoon is certain that she did, I would invite him to identify the people with whom she shared it. All for your information.
