Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, I must commend my friend David Hinds for taking the initiative to lead the charge for African Guyanese to empower themselves and to become self-reliant.

Dear Editor, To Christpen Bobb-Semple, the latest (publicised) victim of the monopoly Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company, I extend sympathy, solidarity and support (‘Problem with GT&T service,’ SN, September 23).

Dear Editor,       On September 20, 2013 I received telephone calls from some of the residents who are house-lot owners of Five Miles, Bartica who had been advised by two ministry officials on August 30 that they were to be relocated from this housing scheme since the land was eroding and as such was not suitable to build on.

Dear Editor,   Regarding ‘Victorious Merkel must reach out to leftist rivals’ (SN, Sep 23), the results were hardly surprising and the advice nothing new. 

Dear Editor, Mr Brynmor T I Pollard, SC, a prominent member of the Guyana Bar apparently seeks the removal of Home Affairs Minister Mr Clement Rohee.

Dear Editor, Is it a year, or more, since we learned that a channel had been set up for reporting corruption, featuring a hotline under the rubric ‘I paid a bribe.’

Dear Editor, I refer to Alfred Bhulai’s missive ‘Circular reasoning,’ (SN, September 22).

Dear Editor, I am not a member of the AFC, but I support the idea of the third force.

Dear Editor, It was indeed refreshing to see the call by Sean McLean in his recent letter in your columns for a compromise between the government and opposition for the sake of progress in Guyana.

Dear Editor, We have noticed the recent establishments being opened and identified as fast food entities but are very concerned from the viewpoint of an Islamic way of life with the beef, mutton and chicken being served to Muslims who unknowingly buy and eat these meats which are not wholesome, Halaal.

Dear Editor, I thank Mr AA Fenty for his comments in his ‘Frankly speaking’ column in SN on September 20. 

Dear Editor, Let us try to straighten out this rigmarole. The President says he cannot assent to the Bills unless the AG issues an assent certificate.

Dear Editor, I refer to Mr Mohamed Akeel’s letter in the Stabroek News of September 20, 2013 ‘It seems as if total confusion surrounds the National Minimum Wage Order’ which suggests that the matter may not be entirely and satisfactorily resolved.

Dear Editor, Huge commercial buildings are going up all over Georgetown.

 Dear Editor, The regulation of traffic on the Demerara Harbour Bridge crossing in the mornings stands second only to the kind of order generated by a wild buffalo dash over crocodile infested waters. 

Dear Editor, In a previous letter published in your newspaper on the matter of the tragic occurrences at Linden in which three unarmed protesting members of the public lost their lives through the actions of members of the disciplined services at the scene, I had expressed my expectation that the Commissioners collectively or individually, would express their opinion on the application of the doctrine of ministerial responsibility recognized within the jurisprudence of Commonwealth countries.

Dear Editor, The management of the Dharm Shala at 140 King Edward Street, Albouystown wishes the public to note that contrary to what has been published, the UK donation made to the Dharm Shala on Thursday, September 19, 2013, on behalf of five UK-based cultural groups in celebration of the 175th Anniversary of the Arrival of Indians in Guyana, was for the sum of G$250,000 (two hundred and fifty thousand Guyana dollars), being the equivalent of £800 (eight hundred pounds sterling).

Dear Editor, The life of another citizen of Guyana has been snuffed out at the hands of bandits.

Dear Editor, After many inquiries regarding a report in Demerara Waves of September 18 titled, ‘AFC members defect to APNU,’which stated, “Former soldier Malcolm Harripaul, who had long switched allegiance to the APNU, has been formally added to the list of defectors,” I write to clarify my position.

Dear Editor, As the AFC continues to lose supporters, including high profile ones, I hope their leadership is finally beginning to realise the great disservice they have done to their party and indeed, the whole country.
