Dear Editor:
Reference is being made to Freddie Kissoon’s article, “David Granger on the electoral value of Charrandass Persaud” (KN: 25th March 2021). Once the newspaper permits Kissoon to write his continuous lies about me there shall be no tolerance on my part for his behaviour. The intellectual nincompoop is at it again. He continues his foolishness and daily lies without being held accountable to any editorial rigour save for the disclaimer which is not good enough.
Let him provide to this nation evidence of his claim that I, “Lincoln Lewis addressing a May Day rally told his audience that it should take dozens of votes in a no-confidence motion (NCM) to remove a government.” No such statement was ever made by me. This is the type of nincompoopism this nation is being subjected to from someone who hides behind the fact that he was part of the academic community, when he continues to do grave injustice to the image of the community, and the worthwhile members who take pride in protecting the integrity of the community.
Freddie continues to dwell in the cesspool of pseudo intellectualism and if it necessitates going into his habitat to deal with him, I shall. This is a man who continues to mislead people that he cares about rights, order, and the rule of law but does not find these tenets universal only convenient when they could serve his purpose. The other day, someone informed me that this captain of chaos wrote in his column that he wants to be “the head of the Human Rights Commission.”
My response to that individual was- Kissoon is not so qualified for such a position because the Constitution of Guyana specifically mandates the holder of this office be a sitting or past judge. He qualifies in neither category. This just goes to show how he is prone to misleading society and would even seek to hold positions he is not qualified for. Further, such proclaimed aspiration confirms that here is a person who claims to have knowledge of the Constitution but knoweth not. Had he known, I would like to believe if he is possessing enough decency, he would have shied away from the public display of ignorance.
Kissoon continues to use his position as a columnist not to build a decent and cohesive society, but to create and sustain public mischief, chaos, division and lawlessness. He claims to know Guyanese will be “disgust” when they know of the lie (stated above) he attributed to me. Let me remind him about the unrefuted truths about him, that would decent Guyanese feel disgust:-
1.Kissoon went on sabbatical from the University of Guyana and collected money from the university to do research but produced no research and did not have the decency to return the money;
2.He does not have doctoral qualification (honourary or class-room achieved) but continues to accept accolades that he is Dr. Kissoon;
3. He was caught engaging in the worst academic sin (plagiarism) and was dishonourably discharged from his doctoral programme.
How more disgusting could the above be, though they represent a mere sampling. Freddie Kissoon lacks the moral rectitude to talk about “disgust,” if not referring to himself, for he is a walking, talking and living specimen of what “disgust” is.
Regards
Lincoln Lewis
