‘FREDDY WICKED!’: Irate members of the team directly responsible for cleaning the section of canal in front Freddy Kissoon’s house yesterday
She, Michelle Fraser, Samantha David, Yonnette Todd, Royston Greaves and Ramesh Jaikaran were directly responsible for clearing the part outside Kissoon’s home.
All six of them, who spoke, emphatically denied that Kissoon talked to any one of them, contrary to his claim in the Kaieteur News yesterday.
Obviously riled while attempting to explain herself, Tappin said they would, usually, cease work at 14:00 h daily and did so on Wednesday, leaving the section complained about for yesterday.
“I don’t even know his name,” she said of Kissoon, pointing to a small, flat, blue and white house opposite Kissoon’s, where they left their tools Wednesday, intending to complete their part of the job yesterday.
“We didn’t even know this man lives here,” David confessed.
She said, if they knew it was Kissoon, they would have done the work in front of his residence first, to avoid his allegation.
David concurred that they stop working as soon as eight hours expire, as they all have families to care for and cannot afford to work extra hours.
“We have to work with a time span,” she said, adding it is for that reason they left the clearing in front of Kissoon for yesterday.
Tappin rejoined that they felt very embarrassed at seeing the report in the Kaieteur News, knowing that it was not as Kissoon claimed. “It was a coincidence,” she offered.
When the members of the media went to the location just after 10:00 h yesterday, the job was almost done and other teams were working a short distance away from where Kissoon lives.
BREATHING SPACE
Kaieteur News published a map in support of Kissoon’s accusation but Tappin criticised what she called Kissoon’s impulsive attitude, noting that he did not afford the team “breathing space” to determine if they would return to clear the area.
Her group said if the columnist had waited at least until yesterday, he would have been in a better position to determine whether or not there was a deliberate decision by them not to clean in front of his house.
They concluded that Kissoon was “very disrespectful” to involve President Bharrat Jagdeo and the Government, as well, in his tirade.
Region Four (Demerara/Mahaica) Coordinator Tullaram Jairam expressed the view that no sensible person would clean the canal and leave a single spot undone.
He said Kissoon cast a bad name on the workers and wants to create political mischief.
“The workers are not happy about this. They are earning an honest living. But this deters them from working,” Jairam informed.
Team foreman Charles Fortune called on Kissoon, whom he described as “wicked, mischievous and dangerous,” to apologise to the workers.
He said they could have lost their jobs because Kaieteur News reported them as saying they were ordered not to clear the vegetation.
Fortune said the workers were astonished after reading the report, as none of them knew where Kissoon lived prior to the publication.

“This made me feel like never reading the Kaieteur News again. I’ve already advised my workers not to buy that paper anymore. At least, he should have found out from us first,” Fortune said, referring to Kissoon.
well what do you expect after all it is the kaieteur news and a kn news columnist that we are talking about here.this is the news paper that is know for false and misleading news.
ReplyDeleteFreddie and the kn news are no different from each other,they are one of a kind so i was not surprise that the the story that he wrote about the work being done in his area and the intentionally by pass his section of the trench that they were clearing.Freddie is another political whore and use this opportunity to attack the president and the government of Guyana.
ReplyDeleteI know that these D&I workers couldn't have leave that part of the canal like that it just show that KN is always put the wrong side of the issue into the public and glad that these workers give their say and i hope that KN sale will further continue to drop........
ReplyDeleteO god a typical KN reporting cause this is yet a other misrepresentation of a story that is up out into the public......smh and sensationalism....
ReplyDeleteOnly a few days ago someone challenge Freddie and then someone talked about KN and there style of report and here they come with a nx story and even more sentationalism in this all because it a writer of their daily and he also took it and made his remarks well i would say why he didnt made a solution to that problem....
ReplyDeleteDuring the PNC time Freddie used to live at his mother-in-law's house on Hadfield. During PPP-Jagdeo time Freddie build a big mansion on prime land. And this same hypocrite got the gall to write about the so-called Pradoville.
ReplyDeletethere had to bea reason for the worker to have not complete the job they had to do and the reason for that was that they work up to 14 hours and that time had came before they had completed there job.freddie have issue with the government and use the unfinished job to attack the government.
ReplyDeleteWell it all comes back to the fact that KN always cultivates lies and liars!! Greasy Freddy is a malicious character who preys on the slightest opening to slip in trash. Those people should have really gone back and through the garbage and weed in front of his gap for his laird tongue!! Indeed Freddy owe these people a major public apology… Nonsense! smh!!!
