Dear Editor,
In a letter to Kaieteur News on September 4 Kissoon states. “Let me say unambiguously, I do not believe that the OAS Assistant-General Secretary ever spoke to someone by the name of Annan Boodram” (‘Why should we believe anything Bisram and Boodram write?’).

Well Editor, here is that email exchange between myself and Mr Ramdin, who, by the way is a very humble person, totally bereft of egotistical displays and claims of self importance.

“Dear Mr. Boodram,
“Thank you for inquiring. I have requested information from our officials who attended a peer review meeting on campaign financing in Miami and they assured me that no discussion took place regarding and no reference was made to Mr. Vishnu Bisram’s performance, qualifications or expertise.
Best Regards,
Ambassador Albert R. Ramdin
Assistant Secretary General”

Subject: Questions

“Dear Mr. Ramdin:
In a column in Guyana’s Kaietuer News earlier this week, columnist Freddie Kissoon claimed that an OAS meeting in Miami too a decision calling on the public to disregard Vishnu Bisram as a creditable pollster. Can you please verify this to be so?

Editor, any reader is now free to contact Mr Ramdin and verify whether this exchange took place.
Yours faithfully,
Annan Boodram
