Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, The following lines came to me as part of an email message on May 12, 2013.

Dear Editor, There has been much public comment on the matter of the Oliver Tambo Award to late President Forbes Burnham.

Dear Editor, From the press release of Sunday, May 12, 2013 adverting to the appointment of “civilians” to the newly created Department of Strategic Management in the Guyana Police Force, it is well understood that the appointees are already at work, having been chosen by a select committee on which, reportedly, there was private sector representation.

Dear Editor, I write in reply to yesterday’s letter in SN written by J Hughes and titled ‘Women should begin to look at themselves.’

Dear Editor, I moved into Non Pareil, East Coast  Demerara, four years ago and am always amazed at the narrow bridge which leads into Dr Carter’s Road from the public road.

Dear Editor, I am at the end of the tunnel. For over a month I have not been able to retrieve messages left on my GT&T phone.

Dear Editor, Politics, as History, is rarely treated to objective analysis.

Dear Editor, As a youngster a popular song was ‘Dem Bones’:  “Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones, and ya head bone connected to ya neck bone and ya neck bone connected to ya shoulder bone,” etc.

Dear Editor, The annual audited reports of all the major business enterprises in Guyana are showing higher levels of returns on investments.

Dear Editor, I have decided, with some reluctance to enter the controversy which has arisen over the allocation of radio frequencies, especially as there is pending litigation concerning the granting of licences initiated by Mr Enrico Woolford.

Dear Editor, Over time, the majority of Councillors expressed grave dissatisfaction over the strange behaviour of the acting Town Clerk, Ms Carol Ryan Sooba, and out of sheer frustration did something unprecedented by leaving the council chamber as long as Ms Sooba was occupying the chair.

Dear Editor, I recently had to go to the Licence Office on Smyth Street to conduct a transaction, and the general environment of this building is unbelievably poor and unhealthy.

Dear Editor, After reading about all these domestic violence cases, physical and mental abuse, molestations of young girls and in some cases young boys, and different perverse behaviours, I think it is time women begin to look at themselves; question themselves.

Dear Editor, I refer to a letter by Annan Boodram in which he stated: “Somehow, it seems that Freddie Kissoon has an obsession with Annan Boodram….” 

Dear Editor, The Oliver Tambo award should be rightly given to the people of Guyana.

Dear Editor, About two weeks ago I had published a letter to the editor which dealt with the urgent need for Guyana to upgrade its anti-money laundering and financing of terrorism laws in keeping with CFAT recommendations made four years ago.

Dear Editor, I have become deeply concerned about the lack of a sense of civic responsibility displayed by certain corporate citizens in their dealings with consumers.

Dear Editor, I read with interest and some amusement the exchanges over the South African award to deceased president LFS Burnham.

Dear Editor, In previous letters to your newspaper, I have expressed my deep concern about the rising crime rate in Guyana, and the need for our security forces to demonstrate a greater ability to arrest the situation.
