Desmond Kissoon-says no wrong-doing found

Former Regional Executive Officer (REO) of Region Six, Desmond Kissoon has filed a writ for libel against Kaieteur News (KN) and the newspaper’s Berbice correspondent and is seeking to clear his name of accusations made against him over the purchase of low-bed equipment.

Kissoon told Stabroek News in an interview recently that the court orders, issued earlier this month, are in relation to publications made in the newspaper alleging that he made “shady transactions involving millions of dollars.”
