Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, I write to dig up once again the sore issue of the grossly underpaid state of teachers in particular, and public servants generally.

Dear Editor, Guyanese must wake up and realize that bad politics have killed our country (whether Indian, African, Amerindian, etc) and we need to stand up and take back Guyana. 

Dear Editor, It was just last week that the legendary Michael Findlay was commenting on the content of the development aspect of the CPL and I had cause to revisit the spin-off benefits that were derived from the Stanford T 20 tournament.

Dear Editor, I read in the newspapers of August 29 that there are prizes for 16-19 years age group in the Neal and Massy 10K Road Race and Fitness Walk.,

Dear Editor, Guyana has come out tops in the CSEC examinations for yet another year.

Dear Editor, Congrats to Ruel Johnson for his shortlisting for the Guyana Prize for Fiction.

Dear Editor, I had hoped, vainly it seems, that the government and the hydroelectric power team led by Mr Winston Brassington would take the necessary steps to address the country’s energy situation and GPL’s losses following Sithe’s withdrawal from the Amaila Falls project.

Dear Editor, Perception is everything in politics. Mrs Cathy Hughes being on the payroll of Sithe Global and making decisions in the AFC on Sithe does not seem right. 

Dear Editor, I pen this letter in total disgust at the contents of a story in your Tuesday August 15 edition (‘Pregnant mother loses baby during labour at GPH…’).

Dear Editor,   In response to a letter from Dominic Gaskin, Treasurer and Executive Member of the AFC in the Stabroek News dated August 27, 2013, we must say that we knew from the very beginning that the task that lies ahead to change Guyana meant breaking from the absurd tradition that all must follow the political leaders wherever they want to take us, even if it is into the Demerara River or the Atlantic Ocean.

Dear Editor, I applaud the call by APNU’s Leader, Mr David Granger for an integrated, comprehensive programme for job creation and a national youth policy to address Guyana’s education crisis.

Dear Editor, I notice that our government has called for Western military restraint in Syria and has expressed solidarity with the socialist regime of Bashar al-Assad.

Dear Editor, The letter carried in your edition of September 2 penned by Mr Peter Ramsaroop carries a very simple and beguiling message (‘Opposition blocking key projects without offering alternatives’). 

Dear Editor, I wish to congratulate endurance swimmer Diana Nyad for becoming the first person to swim from Cuba to the United States without the use of a shark cage.

Dear Editor, Suppose your neighbour offers to marry your daughter. Assuming that your daughter doesn’t mind, would you only be concerned that your daughter could live in a fancy house and have access to half a dozen Prados? 

Dear Editor, The Isseneru Village Council of Isseneru Amerindian Village in Middle Mazaruni kindly requests that you publish our reply to a letter written by one Peter Persaud which appeared in the Guyana Chronicle of Wednesday, August 14, 2013 captioned ‘APA demonstration had nothing to do with land titles,’ in which he made a number of unfounded allegations against the Isseneru Village Council and also included the usual nasty misrepresentations in a failed attempt to discredit our protest held on the International Day of Indigenous Peoples.

Dear Editor, As a former worker of the Mahaica-Mahaicony-Abary/Agricultural-Development-Authority (MMA/ADA) who worked from 1984 to 2008 for a period of 24 consecutive years, I am entitled to my gratuity and pension.

Dear Editor, The recent appointment of Mr Clement Rohee to the position of General Secretary of the ruling PPP/C, demonstrates the confidence and trust that his comrades in the Executive Committee of that party have in him.

Dear Editor, A few weeks ago, both the state and independent media reported that the shortlist of the Guyana Prize for Literature would be announced by August 19th, presumably of this year. 

Dear Editor, The Muslim Community of Guyana, represented by the various Islamic organizations strongly condemns the bloodshed, destruction, violence and human rights atrocities that are taking place in several countries, such as Syria, Egypt, Palestine, Nigeria, Burma and Iraq, and calls on the international community, led by the United Nations and other powerful world bodies, to take definite and decisive action to put a quick end to this human suffering.
