Dear Editor,
I have noted a letter in your publication of 8/26/ 2012 by an individual assuming the name of M.S. Majeed, captioned “Stay out Mr. Burke.”
The writer stated, among other things, that “Mr. Rickford Burke (KN–08/23/2012), an overseas resident, demanded that Mr. Cecil Kennard be removed from the Linden Commission of Inquiry. It is my view that as an overseas resident, Mr. Burke has absolutely no authority to dictate or to meddle into the affairs of the government of Guyana.” The penman seems intoxicated by the fool’s pottage.
I therefore wish to put it to this writer that unlike Mr. Janet Jagan who was born in Chicago, USA, I am a born Guyanese with an inalienable right to freedom of expression, political views and civic participation in the polity of my country. I shall continue to exercise these rights without fear and free of fear.
I shall close with the renowned Arabian proverb ”Arrogance diminishes wisdom.”
Rickford Burke
