Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, Stabroek News’ report titled ‘Gov’t puts hold on local gov’t bills’ (July 26) begs the constitutional question of whether an executive (government) can constitutionally, fairly, justly and democratically adjourn the legislative arm of the state when that executive does not possess the majority in the legislature.

Dear Editor, The people who grounded in the ballroom on the upper floor of the Tower Hotel for the Symposium to mark the 33rd death anniversary of Walter Rodney (it was almost filled to capacity), represented just a speck of our population and was made up mostly of intellectuals, the middle class and a sprinkling of the faithful ordinary folks.

Dear Editor, Mr Moses Nagamootoo in a letter in SN dated July 24 without credible justification attempted to discredit the arguments presented by the government on the motion to amend the Guarantee of Loans (Public Corporations and Companies) Act (‘The PPP’s alternative to gridlock is constructive engagement and compromise’).

Dear Editor, Please allow me to make some comments about the cartoon in your Sunday 21st July edition.

Dear Editor, I moved to the McDoom Middle Street area a couple of years ago, and am still living there although this has become a crime-prone area.

Dear Editor, Please grant me a space in your letter column to give my recommendation as a former member of the army (GDF) and a citizen of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana.

Dear Editor, The PPP believes that they are convincing the public with their unsynchronized information about the Amaila Falls Hydro Project which will make the public think that Guyana’s development is being held to ransom by the opposition thereby enabling them to gain political mileage.

Dear Editor, On July 18, during what I would describe as one of the ‘dumb’ debates in which both government and opposition alternated to be silent, Minister Irfaan Ali confidently denied that the raising of the national debt ceiling from $1 billion to $150 billion, has anything to do with the cash-strapped Guyana Power and Light (GPL).
