Freddie Kissoon’s response to UG
Dear Editor,
The Kaieteur News has asked me to respond to the above statement. I have not written anything about UG’s pension policy and thus the statement is misleading. I penned three lines in my Sunday (April 18, 2021) column about something I told Vincent Alexander moons ago about the restricted list of people who can sign a UG pension form. Only seven types of occupations can sign. There is nothing in the UG statement that contradicts that. The statement refers to changes in the pension policy but nothing is explained if the seven categories have been extended. In one instance it says if the pensioner is still working at UG, a senior administrative officer can sign. This doesn’t pertain to pensioners not working at UG.
In another instance, it says you can scan the form and send it and there were times UG staff members collected the forms at pensioners’ homes. But I am talking about who can sign the form not the scanning of the form or having it picked up. I close by saying that I did not write on UG pension policy and it must be embarrassing for UG for the world to see it cannot publish a logical response to something simply written about it. I hope the academic communities in Guyana and the Government of Guyana have taken note. I close with a question. Have the seven categories been extended? Which other occupations are now eligible to sign a pensioner’s form if the pensioner is not working at UG?
Yours truly,
Frederick Kissoon
