People opt for photocopying because it is cheaper
I read Mr. Lloyd Austin’s (continuing) lamentation about “academic piracy” in the photocopying of books. I recall also Freddie Kissoon lengthily addressing this issue a few years back.
The fact is that people opt for photocopying because it is much cheaper that what Austin sells at and, where finance is limited, photocopying allows for parts/chapters of […]
GRA needs to bring Freddie Kissoon closer under its microscope
I feel compelled to respond to Freddie’s article “democracy and dictatorship: - the role of the judge,” in which he, like the judiciary, seems to be on the side of the lawless or unlawful.
Perhaps the GRA needs to bring Freddie closer under its microscope because he may have been evading the GRA for one reason […]
Totalitarian and the banality of Freddie Kissoon
Freddie does not really understand how power works.
Power, Freddie, is of absolutely no real intrinsic ‘value’ unless it is demonstrated. That is, you need a ‘subject’, and, you need ‘observers’.
Freddie Kissoon has a point about University of Guyana
I take note that both Mr. Freddie Kissoon and Mr. Jason Benjamin in their letters in Stabroek News of October 13 sign themselves as “Members of the Search Committee for a Vice-Chancellor”. They also say they are members of the University Council which is the highest decision making council for UG.
Some Guyana media people are just pessimistic
First let me say it is with great joy that I pen this letter knowing that our country has won the right of sovereignty with respect to the maritime boundary that was in dispute with our neighbour Suriname.
Nevertheless, some people in the media are just pessimistic and can never really experience that feeling of satisfaction […]
My father Arthur Abraham was an obedient servant
I am writing to inform you and your readership that I have responded to a statement in Freddie Kissoon’s column in the September 20th. 2007 issue of Kaieteur News.
In this column Mr. Kissoon speaks to the tragedy which befell the Abraham family in 1964 and then suggests that that my […]
PPP/C has mandate to rule on behalf of the Guyanese people
Freddie Kissoon in his Kaieteur News column of September 17 asserts:”…UG is an African dominated institution both in staff and students. Yet, the most Machiavellian attacks and conspiracies have been hatched against the University by the PPP Government with no response from African Guyanese. In the fifteen years that the PPP has abused its power, […]
Freddie Kissoon is misleading Guyanese about furniture shortage in schools
Freddie Kissoon is once again using his column to mislead Guyanese. In his column dated September 14, 2007, he claimed that schools in Guyana lack sufficient desks and chairs.
But the question must be asked: does the problem occur across the board, or in a few isolated cases? Indeed, if it is not an isolated case, […]
‘Mr. Know All’ Freddie Kissoon
Mr.Kissoon presents himself as a “Mr. Know All”, when he is one of the poorest academics around town. He has repeatedly failed to show his academic publications. He accuses people of not understanding new concepts in political theories, such as, ‘failed state’ and ‘elected dictatorship’ when he himself has serious difficulties in discerning the dynamic […]
