Letters to the Editor

Questions about prescriptive title

Dear Editor, With respect to your news article ‘CCJ sets aside rulings over Essequibo rice lands’ (SN, August 24), Omeshwar Misir obtained transported title to seven acres of rice land in the year 1999.

SN should celebrate the achievements of Rio

Dear Editor, The recent CXC statistics released by the Ministry of Education indicate beyond the shadow of a doubt that there is a national crisis in our public education system, but there is one problem in particular.
