Letters to the Editor

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, Since it is poll season, I thought that I should do my own. 

Dear Editor,   The robbery and killing spree by bandits goes on unceasingly.

Dear Editor, A mother cried for her dead son and a wife sobbed as her husband took his last breath.

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).

Dear Editor, Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI), the nation’s supplier of water and sanitation services, wishes to address the concerns stated in the letter published in the Stabroek News, July 22, 2013, page 7 regarding GWI’s service in Bartica (‘Why after nine years is the Bartica water treatment plant not fulfilling its promises?’).

Dear Editor, There are two recent news items that captured my attention:  Mr Nigel Hughes’ call for mass protest and Mr Sharma Solomon’s admittance to the Central Executive of the PNC.

Dear Editor, On the 9th July I sent a letter (‘Contract workers sometimes damage the mains when disconnecting water’) to the Stabroek News and it was published on the 11th July with an Editor’s note indicating that it would be forwarded to the PRO of GWI Timothy Austin for a reply, and to date I haven’t seen the reply.

Dear Editor, I find myself being asked by potential donors and supporters of the AFC to explain the decision by Mr Nigel Hughes to defend one of the accused in the case of the Lusignan massacre.

Dear Editor, National under-19, left-arm leg spinner Herry Green joins his brother Herell Green, a composed opening batsman, to be the latest combination of brothers or family members from Essequibo to either represent Guyana or another nation in cricket at any level.

Dear Editor, The economic and financial crisis that has gripped a number of Western countries has demonstrated in no uncertain terms that the neo-liberal model of development has failed to address in any fundamental way the issue of poverty and human misery.

Dear Editor, The long anticipated statement by the PPP in response to what I have been writing is a disappointment.

Dear Editor, Comments in the media by President Ramoutar, labelling elected Parliamentary Oppo-sition members of the National Assembly as domestic terrorists, demonstrate how savage and shockingly irresponsible the Head of State and the Government he leads has become.

Dear Editor, I would like to expand on an issue which was not as fully addressed as I would have liked in Mr Sohan’s excellent letter published on July 16 titled ‘It is possible supplementary funds will have to be sought from Parliament to complete the Hope Canal.’

Dear Editor, The Private Sector Commission (PSC)  and in particular, Mr Kit Nascimento, said recently, it was reported, that politics should be kept apart from the Amaila Falls project, and they condemned the vote in the National Assembly to block that project at this time.

Dear Editor, I would like to highlight the state of First Street, Mocha-Arcadia (a main thoroughfare in the village).

Dear Editor, We are never amused by the position taken by Mr Mohamed Akeel since he exited his job as the Chief Labour Officer.
