Government distances itself from Kissoon contract termination

The government has distanced itself from the perception that it had anything to do with the firing of University of Guyana (UG) lecturer Freddie Kissoon.

Kissoon’s dismissal by the UG Council came to light on Monday and several of his political and media colleagues sought to link it to his criticisms which have been ongoing for almost 5 years now. Why the government would wait till only now to fire Kissoon who is over the age of retirement has not been explained by them.

Also, addressing the issue at his post-Cabinet news briefing Wednesday Cabinet Secretary Dr. Roger Luncheon said while they are aware of the issues surrounding the decision the onus is not on government to comment on the matter but rather the Council itself.

“I want to propose that media representatives might want to bring to bear their collective will on the Council to ask them to clarify these matters because we are concerned about the gross misrepresentation of what transpired and speculations about what inspired the Council to act the way it did,” he stated.
