Kaieteur News columnist and former University of Guyana lecturer, Frederick Kissoon yesterday continued to explain in detail, reasons for calling former President Bharrat Jagdeo an ‘Ideological racist’. The columnist, with the use of research material said to have been gathered over two years of study, continued to present before Justice Brassington Reynolds, at the High Court,Cheap NBA Jerseys China, results that are based mainly on state institutions which play pivotal roles in the governance of the country.Kaieteur Columnist Fredrick KissoonLed by his Counsel, Nigel Hughes, Kissoon spoke on findings from studies conducted at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPHC), the Critchlow Labour College, Education Ministry and the Guyana Water Authority.Along with National Media and Publishing Company, Publisher of Kaieteur News, and Editor-in-Chief Adam Harris, Kissoon is being sued for over $10M,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, after Jagdeo sued for libel reported to have been in one of Kissoon’s 2010 articles.Kissoon said that his research showed that at GPHC, at least 22 professional positions; from the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to the Chief Surgeon, were taken away from Afro-Guyanese and refilled with Indo-Guyanese. He said other health institutions where similar moves were made, included the Jagan Dental School which is a public entity.The former lecturer recalled that he had done voluntary work at the Critchlow Labour College in 1990, a time when he said his classroom consisted of mainly Afro-Guyanese. The school, he said,Cheap Jerseys, was being funded by a government grant, but since the appointment of the plaintiff into office, that grant had been withdrawn.Kissoon claimed that he based his conclusions on his historical knowledge. He said that these things never occurred under any other president, including the Jagans. The grant, Kissoon said, has never been restored, despite this institution offering a second chance to students who did not succeed at the mainstream CXC examinations.In relation to the Education Ministry, Kissoon zeroed in that Ms Genevieve Whyte-Nedd who acted as Chief Executive Officer for five years, and retired without being confirmed as the Chief Education Officer. (This meant that she lost half of her service benefits.)Kissoon said that in the case of the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA), a similar victim was Ingrid Griffith who acted twice in the capacity of Trade Commissioner, being bypassed for the confirmation of the position,Cheap Wholesale Jerseys, and being replaced by an Indo-Guyanese Colonel from the GDF, despite, Griffith working at the institution for over 20-years.Kissoon argued that no Indo Guyanese was ever prosecuted when fraud was discovered in the government departments. In terms of the Guyana Water Authority,China Jerseys Wholesale, Kissoon pointed out that despite alleged improprieties against Chief Executive Officer Karran Singh, there was no police investigation into the matter. He continued that like in the case of Nirmal Rekha, Secretary to the Treasury at the Ministry of Finance, who was found by the GRA to have signed off at least 50 bogus duty free letters, there was no prosecution.When asked, Kissoon said that during his two-year study, he noticed a trend that Indo-Guyanese holding managerial positions were not being prosecuted by the state when found acting in contradiction with their duties.This however, caused much back and forth between the defence and the Plaintiff’s lawyer, Senior Counsel Bernard De Santos. De Santos was not satisfied with the explanation Kissoon gave in relation to him making the statement that police investigations were not being done. The varying objections and responses were recorded by the court.Kissoon also told the court those nine Permanent Secretaries, all Afro-Guyanese, were replaced by Indo-Guyanese. He said that despite these persons holding University degrees, some with Masters and Doctorates, they were all removed,Jerseys Cheap, while no Indo-Guyanese holding the same position, were replaced by Afro-Guyanese.Last Friday Kissoon started to explain how he came to term Bharrat Jagdeo an ‘ideological racist’. He pointed out through studies, the societal trend of both Indo and Afro-Guyanese in early Guyana up to current day, and claimed that under the Jagdeo Administration and the PPP take over in 1992; massive changes were made removing the balance of ethnic representation in the public sector.Kissoon spoke then of the ‘Plural model’ which he said was used to describe a satisfied Guyanese society and the co-habitation of the citizens. He continued yesterday to highlight the entities and the changes that were being made to the public sector, destroying that model which he described.The court hearing is scheduled to continue on February 4 when the defendant will continue his testimony.
