After one time is another. I thought KNews was leaning towards PNC/AFC, and now this.

Harmon demands $13M from KN …for ‘libelous’ articles, newspaper to apologise, retract

May 13, 2016

By Ravin Singh

MINISTER of State Joseph Harmon is seeking $13M compensation and an apology from Kaieteur News for alleged defamatory statements published in 13 articles, which appeared in the daily newspaper between March and May of 2016.Speaking to the media on Thursday, following the adjournment of the National Assembly, the Minister revealed that a letter was sent to Kaieteur News by his lawyer Roysdale Forde. He disclosed

Adam Harris

that he is seeking “damages for libel,” which includes an apology, retraction of 13 articles and $1M compensation for each article. The money he said, if successful in his case against the newspaper, will be directed to the Veterans’ Foundation.

Questioned on whether he feels the case will be successful, the Minister related that he is not “dealing with feelings”, but is dealing with facts. His lawyer, Forde, when contacted, confirmed that the letter was indeed sent to the media house, which was asked to issue the apology, retractions and $1M for each of the 13 articles published.

The articles are suspected to be those related to the Minister’s trip to China, a few months ago, which sparked criticisms against him.
Forde was keen to note too, that the financial compensation of $13M would not be for the Minister, but the Veteran’s Foundation. He explained further, that if Kaieteur News was not willing to accede to these “reasonable” requests, then the matter would be taken to court to stand trial. Forde went on to suggest that from that point, the court would make an assessment of the damages, which would incur financial compensation, subject to a decision by the court. He remains hopeful however, that the issue would not go to trial and that it would be resolved “amicably and maturely.”

But Editor-in-Chief of Kaieteur News, Adam Harris, when contacted last evening, told the Guyana Chronicle that the media house was not prepared to compensate the Minister financially. However, Harris revealed that an apology and the retractions are likely to be forthcoming. He reasoned that the leadership of the newspaper is “tempted to agree with him [Harmon]” regarding the headlines in the stories published, and this would be the basis for the apology and retractions.

That is not Glenn Lall in the pic.  Glen Lall is the banna from KN who broke the news when the plane was mid air.  Granger had to call them on the plane before it landed to let them know the cat is out of the bag.  BK was also on the plane with them.

She is not a Personal Asst.  She is an attorney.  De man mek dem coolie bai look stupitttttt deh!!!!

Horman is like a real thug.

First Freddie got put in his place and now Glen Lalla is feeling the heat.

Let us see if Lalla will fold like cowards Moses, Rumjattan and Freddie.

Or will this kickstart Lalla's vengeance on the incompetent AFC/PNC clowns.

It would be great business for Lalla if he starts to highlight the failures of this clueless administration. Paper sales will increase substantially. 

Afc should go jump off a building. They use Harmon to cover their stupidity. It is these fools who believe that the Pharaoh Granjer is going to give them anything meaningful.

Dem should send dem daughters now to take one for the team.  It's not fair that somebody else daughter paying the price.   The PNC boys gat money in dem pocket now.  They can get any woman dem want.

This is a dangerous path the PNC is taking.  Why are they trying to stifle the media.  They have a right to reply, use it.  Why is Harmon hiding from the media?

Guyana is an extremely open society, by virtue of the number of publications that are circulated — especially on line and how many are controlled by the PPP. There is no doubt about it. 

Our laws grant Mr. Harmon the right to reply if he feel is false or misleading. So why is he not using it?

I am convinced that Kaiteur News will give him front page if he request to reply to their allegations.  But he just blasted wicked, he want to shut up Kaiteuer News because they arew now aware that some US$3 million was deposit in an account in Macau by the players on the plane for one player on that plane.

Them learn well from BJ, the BHIG RAT.

Let them try and shut down Kaiteur News and see what the Americans will do to them rass.

Kaiteur News did the same thing to the PPP and Anil and them rest of Chatree rolled with the punched.  In politics we must have thick skins, not this anti-man attitude of running and hide under the skirt of your lawyers.

"In politics we must have tick skins, not this anti-man attitude of running and hide under the skirt of your lawyers."

Tha chap Harmon nah wan lawyer,he should gat better sense.

This is funny to watch how dem boys who were dying to get the PNC back in power are now talking "Soo Soo".

They are scared of Horman and can only talk behind his back.

Not one single AFC coward can stand up to Horman.
