Dear Editor,
On the 12th April the Kaieteur News published an article by Adam Harris in which he stated that his position on the Sharma issue may shock his colleagues in the media. He went on to explain that his position was that C.N. Sharma had to be sanctioned for airing what had to be tantamount to a seditious statement i.e. the shooting of a head of state.
Adam referred to a conversation he and I had some years ago when I told him that I would never allow any caller to be connected to the VCT transmitter “live” since whatever they said on my broadcast, by transmitting it, I would be publishing it and that I would be just as liable as any person uttering any defamation or sedition. My position has not changed. It is a very dangerous practice.
