Weary and confused with Kingsley DeFreitas

Editor: I am asking you please to check and recheck any article going into your paper from Kingsley Defreitas before you put it out there for your readers.

In the Midweek Searchlight of August 30, 2016, Mr Defreitas wrote “The late Mr and Mrs Joshua were very outstanding politicians. What they did for SVG is very unique”;{{more}} but he can only remember two (2) of the three (3), madam. The reclaimed lands opposite the Central Police Station, all the way down to Rose Place, were done by the Labour Party of the Right Hon Robert M Cato in the 1970s, and not by the Joshuas, as was printed.

Last week, Mr Defreitas called into the Shake Up radio programme to defend the Hon Arnhim Eustace’s move to join the People’s Republic of China (PRC) of mainland China, and he did not know the difference between the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Republic of China on Taiwan (ROC). It was the first time he was hearing about the first president of the Republic of China (on Taiwan), leader Chiang Kai Shek, when asked by the host of the programme, Mr J Burns Bonadie. Your readers must be weary and confused with Kingsley.
