Letters to the Editor

Cash-grant hoax raises suspicions about its motives

Dear Editor, I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent events that transpired at Freedom House in Georgetown, Guyana, where hundreds of individuals were reportedly turned away during an alleged cash-grant rush after being misled by what appears to be a hoax.

Royalty calculation

Dear Editor, Please allow me to comment on a letter published (4 March 2024) and given generous coverage in another local newspaper.

The erasure of the MacKenzie Sports Club has members wondering what the objectives of the gov’t really are

Dear Editor, Was the razing of the iconic main concrete pavilion and Club House at the Mackenzie Sports Club (MSC) in Linden in December last year a Christmas gift to develop it into a ‘multipurpose’ facility, as was announced first when the Government sought the blessings of the MSC’s Committee of Management to plough funds towards this being one of three sports centres in Guyana in 2020?

Strike, elections imbroglio and occupation of parliamentary seat

Dear Editor Drama continues in the land.  From the called off teachers’ strike to now another elections imbroglio, not national, but a credit union, with claims and allegations of illegalities; to the continued occupation of a seat in parliament, when such occupation ended, based on a lady’s/gentlemen’s agreement, which forged the occupation of the seat.

Dear Editor, Reading our newspapers to keep abreast of what is happening in Guyana, I was jarred by the headline in the Letters section of Kaieteur News of Today, Monday 4th March; 2024: “Pres Ali, a man from a poor background has the temerity to tell workers demanding better, that his regime will not be bullied.”

Teachers strike was a just one, gov’t lagging on human development

Dear Editor, I would like to comment on two current issues in the news:  The ANUG seat in Parliament should be immediately given up based on previous arrangements and it is a betrayal of all political and moral  principles to hold onto that seat against the wish of that party – the most egregious  example being that betrayal by Charrandass Persaud against the APNU coalition.
