Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, I watched, with absolute dismay, David Granger come out of State House yesterday to address a crowd of APNU+AFC supporters who, under the COVID-19 regulations, should have been immediately dispersed by the police.

Dear Editor, On June 30, the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) was passed by China’s top legislature, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (NPC), added to the list of national laws in Annex III to the Basic Law of the HKSAR, and applied locally by the Chief Executive of the HKSAR.

Dear Editor, Salaams and congratulations to the ninth Executive President of Guyana Dr.

Dear Editor, Following the welcomed Caribbean Court of Justice’s decision on the 8th of July, 2020, it is now for Gecom and essentially its Chairwoman to act swiftly in concluding the exhaustingly lengthy Elections which has been prolonged for in excess of four months causing grave distress to our nation, in accordance with the recount results.

Dear Editor, In 2010, Barak Obama took responsibility for what he described as a “systemic failure” that resulted in an alleged terrorist boarding a flight to the United States.

Dear Editor, Noting the national importance of the Guyana March 2 election issue that was presented to it, the CCJ’s President Adrian Saunders observed that everyone would want this matter to be over as soon as practicably possible.

Dear Editor, Each time GECOM is about to move the process forward blockades are thrown its way, with another delaying tactic to further frustrate and seemingly to deny the will of the people. 

Dear Editor, As was expected, the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) overturned the controversial majority decision of Justices Brassington Reynolds and Dawn Gregory in the Application brought by Eslyn David to, among other things, ostensibly interpret s.177(2)(b)

Dear Editor, Everybody is talking about it. Nobody wants it.  Nobody wants to do what is required to start, much less to get there. 

Dear Editor, As I with great anxiety awaited certainly what would be a monumental ruling of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ), I began to reflect on the shame the Coalition had brought us and the ignoble legacy that it has bequeathed to all Guyanese.

Dear Editor, The Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC), once again, wishes to lend its voice to the call for peace and responsible behaviour by all as the nation awaits the final declaration of the March 02, 2020, General and Regional Elections.  There is no doubt that the historically long period it has taken for the declaration to be made has exacerbated tensions and discontent while unfortunately fostering ethnic strife, especially on social media platforms.

Dear Editor, If more votes do not mean more valid votes, then in a cricket match a victory by say 60 runs more should be questioned on the ground that 60 runs are not 60 valid runs.

Dear Editor, An erroneous piece of ‘news’ was circulated on various social media platforms recently accusing me of seeking to exert influence over the CCJ ruling by virtue of being a member on the Board of Trustees of the Caribbean Court of Justice’s Trust Fund.  As I usually do as the Private Sector liaison on COVID-19 I contacted Larry London, Egbert Field and a few others regarding a Roraima Airways flight to facilitate the return to Trinidad of two Trinidadian Nationals.

Dear Editor, Francis Ferreira, a distinguished Guyanese Artist has passed away.

Dear Editor, This letter is written with regards to an article published in the Kaieteur News dated June 28, 2020 and entitled, `Coronavirus: It has mutated and is now even more infectious.’

Dear Editors, My good friend the Chinese Ambassador laid out his Government’s position on Hong Kong in a letter to Stabroek News on 17 June `Hong Kong’s high degree of autonomy does not mean complete autonomy’. 

Dear Editor, Expectations are high and low, depending on one’s perspective, of the ruling by the Caribbean Court of Justice today in the matter of its jurisdiction, in the Eslyn David V Chief Election Officer et al case.

Dear Editor, I was shocked see on page 10 of the Trinidad Guardian newspaper on Saturday, July 4, 2020 a full page publication plainly attempting to  influence the extant matter before the CCJ concerning the Guyana elections.

Dear Editor, D. Alissa Trotz and Arif Bulkan in their carefully crafted essay on `Guyana’s political tragedy’ (SN, June 30, 2020) provide a bird’s eye view of some of the irreversible historical events leading up to the current national crisis.

Dear Editor, I am certain that thousands of persons from Guyana, the Caribbean and the wider world are anxiously awaiting the decision tomorrow of the Caribbean Court of Justice  (CCJ) in Guyana’s elections saga.
