Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, After having lived for several decades in the USA I returned to Guyana to help develop my beloved country with my hard-earned dollars.

Dear Editor, With so many daunting challenges facing GuySuCo, particularly a foreseeable lengthy period of low sugar prices, increasing labour costs, difficulties in mechanization, and negative impacts of climate change, it is very unlikely that GuySuCo in its present configuration can attain the level of production and profitability needed to give it a stable and sustainable future.

Dear Editor, I learnt through the local media recently that the Deputy Mayor of Georgetown Ms Patricia Chase-Green has signalled her intention to run for the position of Mayor at the upcoming municipal elections in 2016.

Dear Editor, I am frustrated at the lack of proper customer service by the so-called telecommunications giant of Guyana that treats its customers like beggars rather than valued people whose payments feed the day-to-day operations of the company.

Dear Editor, Is it a surprise that Holder is expressing the same view that Gayle implied years ago that cricketers should be assisted in their quest for higher incomes than those which could have been earned when there was only one form of cricket?

Dear Editor, As LGE 2016 looms there is every indication that there is an unequal playing field among the contenders.

Dear Editor, I have read with much interest, Ms Syeada Manbodh’s letter in your column on January 11, captioned ‘Government should do more to protect wildlife and domestic animals’.

Dear Editor, I refer to the Stabroek News article of January 14, with the headline ‘NICIL’s Deputy head complains to cops of being shadowed by unknown persons.’

Dear Editor, I share a few passing thoughts on a handful of issues.

Dear Editor, Please refer to an article in Thursday, January 14 edition of Guyana Times entitled ‘National Youth Policy yet to be implemented’ in which Charles Ramson Jr stated in referring to the National Youth Policy that “you have Norton being paid $500,000 a month who is specifically designated to do this; you have a minister, but both of them are unable to come up with the national youth policy.”

Dear Editor, I refer to a statement by Tarron Khemraj in the Stabroek News of Wednesday, January 13, that I once referred to the Guyana diaspora as traitors (‘How to gain over US$1 billion per year from Guyanese Diaspora).

Dear Editor, I appreciate sentiments expressed in Mr E B John’s letter, ‘Kanhai was a great Guyanese – not Indo-Guyanese ‒ cricketer’, (SN, January 7).

Dear Editor, In this hard guava season NCN CEO Molly Hassan and NCN Human Resource Manager Darren Khan were forced to resign from their prestigious jobs.

Dear Editor, Violent crimes, brutal murders, a large number of suicides coupled with massive corruption are a bugbear to the country’s development, since the police and other law enforcement agencies are unable to deal with the volume of crime now taking over the country.

Dear Editor, When I woke up this morning, there were a beautiful sunrise, which I enjoy looking at.

Dear Editor, The abnormally high suicide rate is unlikely to drop and will continue to climb bearing in mind that we are failing to address the root of this problem.

Dear Editor, The Ministry of Public Health has recently sent out a news bulletin stating that it will be continuing its fogging exercise as a means of vector control.

Dear Editor, Sugar production in Guyana is generally considered an unprofitable line of business at this point in time, particularly when it is common knowledge that the price for sugar is less than half of what it costs to produce a unit of the item.

Dear Editor, The security and first line of defence of a family are the very members of that family, buffered by the culture and individual and collective consciousness of that unit.

Dear Editor, In today’s Stabroek News there is a letter by Khemraj Tulsie that I just have to comment on.
