Applause for a routine service?

‘Vindicated by court’

Dear Editor, For a period of nineteen months I have been subjected to all types of allegations and innuendo, and paraded through the so-called independent media, the Government of Guyana printed and online media, obnoxious blogsites and other corridors of influence without these allegations being tested.
