l was working on my political assignment that weekend

Dear Editor,

I must confess that l have been quite amused by the attention being paid by some media houses with regards to my absence from recent PPP/C activities.

In this regard, l am referring to my absence from last Sunday’s Memorial activity at Babu Jaan for our founding leaders, Dr. Cheddi Jagan and Janet Jagan. For those of you who know me l have not attended the Babu Jaan activity annually, and, my absence went unnoticed by the media.

Now that it has been noticed, for the curious, l was working on my political assignment that weekend in one of the region’s in preparation for general and regional elections as required in art 106 (6) and 106(7) following the no confidence motion in the National Assembly on December 21, 2018. There my presence was noticed.

Yours faithfully,

Gail Teixeira
