Letters to the Editor

Klass should resign

Dear Editor, There has now been an official announcement from FIFA’s Ethics Committee that Mr Colin Klass, President of the Guyana Football Federation has been provisionally suspended from all football related activities, pending an investigation into alleged financial impropriety in the cash for votes scandal.

Unnecessary umbrage

Dear Editor, It really speaks volumes when our Gecom CHairman Steve Surujbally can find the time in this busy election season not to educate the Guyanese voter, but rather to respond to Mr T King’s letter in the Guyana Chronicle about some one-line inaccuracy (‘Not linked to any political party’ SN, August 18).

SN should publish Bisram’s polls as a regular news item

Dear Editor, I write to in relation to Frederick Kissoon’s missive that ‘SN should make a decision on Bisram’ (SN, August 18) and advocate that you publish the man’s polls as regular news items in the same way you published the polls of Dick Morris and Peter Wickham (Cadres). 

The persistence of the High Court case involving some Region 7 communities shows that the government is not implementing the principle of free, prior and informed consent agreed in the Norway MoU

Dear Editor,  Guyana Chronicle reported that the Minister of Amerindian Affairs (MoAA) and Ministry staff, with some members of the National Toshaos Council, visited eight communities in Region 7 (‘Minister Sukhai completes five-day outreach to Region 7 communities,’ GC August 17). 

Young people do not perceive education to be useful

Dear Editor, We all agree that the economic crisis has affected nearly every country in the world and has had a negative impact on the well-being of youths, but like many Guyanese I have doubts that the world economic crisis is the reason for the state of youths in Guyana.

Bisram’s statements and polls support the present government

Dear Editor, As I read Vishnu Bisram’s third lengthy letter, ‘Mehta’s letter was neither biased nor arrogant,’ (SN, August 15), denying my assertion that a member of President Jagdeo’s staff sought an invitation from the Federation of Indian Americans (FIA) for the president to attend the FIA activities, I was reminded of the quote from Sheakespeare’s Hamlet, “The lady doth protest too much.”
