Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, The issue of a possible David Granger presidency has raised much concern, because of the silly excuses he continues to make regarding his role in the GDF and more importantly his strenuous defence of the role of the army in removing the ballot boxes and storing them at the army headquarters, Camp Ayanganna for more than 3 days.

Dear Editor, I was hesitant to write about the West Indies team, knowing how unpredictable they can be.

Dear Editor, What should be the role of progressives in relation to the popular rebellion in Libya?

Dear Editor, The existing noise abatement laws which are supposed to protect Guyanese citizens from that particular form of environmental pollution are flagrantly being transgressed with impunity across residential communities, while the competent authorities condone and even actively encourage such disrespect to ordinary citizens. 

Dear Editor, I was very disgusted with President Jagdeo’s call to the PPP faithful at Babu John to educate the young people about the ills of the PNC going back 30 years so that they can keep looking backwards, thinking backwards and voting blindly for the PPP.

Dear Editor, I pause in the course of a reply to Dr Randy Persaud to comment on the gross violation of Mr Mark Benschop’s rights.

Dear Editor, Elections in Guyana are due later this year and at this time each of the two major opposition parties has decided on its Presidential candidate.

Dear Editor, In this beloved country of ours, there seems to be never a dull moment. 

Dear Editor, I refer to a letter from Malcolm Harripaul in your Saturday 11th March issue, captioned `With his adherence to Communism Dr Jagan committed political suicide.’

Dear Editor, Information in circulation suggests that GT&T E-magine service will not be available to the residents of West Coast Demerara until the latter part of 2012.

Dear Editor, Reference is made to a letter written by Mr R G Venton which was published in the March 11 edition of Stabroek News under the heading ‘A triple and a double century,’ and I wish to make the general public aware of a few of several inaccuracies contained therein.

Dear Editor, Babu John regularly features as the PPP’s ‘bottom house,’ with President Jagdeo voiding himself of his worst fears, illusions, and suspicions, as he opens up before the faithful.

Dear Editor, Indigenous people, and many others of Guyana also, feel that there is something sacred about burial grounds and funerals.

Dear Editor, I would like to bring to your readership’s attention that in 1998, when I gave up my seat as a PPP parliamentarian and resigned from the PPP, calling publicly for reforms in our constitution and new politics for this country and in the PPP also, not one of the present agitators for “change” who were in the PPP at that time ever opened their mouths to support my positions.

Dear Editor, Like most Guyanese at home and abroad, I was shocked numb when I read your news story, ‘Jagdeo attacks Granger, Trotman,’ (March 9), and while the attack on  the AFC’s Raphael Trotman does not really make political hay seeing he is not on his party’s presidential ticket, it is the President’s diatribe against Mr Granger that has piqued my interest.

Dear Editor, One of the daily quotes carried by Stabroek News reads, “To betray you must first belong” – Harold Philby. 

Dear Editor, Joey Jagan’s letter, ‘Was never under consideration for presidency of Guyana,’ (SN, March 9) affords me the opportunity to contrast Dr Cheddi Jagan’s politics with his contemporaries of the Caribbean, and show how he was responsible for the PNC being in office for 28 years.

Dear Editor, Robert Persaud, the Minister of Agriculture, has made tremendous progress since he took office in September 2006.

Dear Editor, I am an international forestry consultant who has lived in Guyana whilst working for the Iwokrama International Centre on an International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO) project.

Dear Editor, I wish to refer to your editorial in today’s Stabroek News (March 10) under the caption ‘Time,’ in which you commented on the concerns raised by Mr Vanrick Beresford in a letter published last Tuesday (‘Punctuality is a hallmark of excellence’ SN, March 8) in connection with the launching of the Men’s Affairs Bureau.
