Jul 20, 2026 Features / Columnists, Peeping Tom

(Kaieteur News) – Christopher Ram begins his latest letter by declaring: “For a columnist who does not usually respond, Peeping Tom has spent the past several days doing little else.” That opening sentence collapses almost immediately under the weight of its own inaccuracy.

What I said was that Peeping Tom does not usually respond to criticisms of its columns. I did not say the column never responds to public arguments. There is a world of difference between the two. And I am confident that Ram is capable of understanding this difference.
