Dear Editor,
Besides being filled with utter rage, abhorrence and disgust on reading of the midnight intruder who sneaked into the Georgetown Public Hospital to molest an in-patient teenager (Kaieteur News, October 5), I am also questioning what sort of security is offered those during a vulnerable period in their lives?
Dear Editor,
What has been grating on me is that amidst the obvious and welcome outpourings of patriotism on the Venezuela issue, the political partisanship, cavalier misinformation, flying fast and loose with facts and truth avoidance are still rampant in the analyses.
Dear Editor,
Charles Sohan in his SN letter of September 29 seeks to challenge Minister Harmon’s statement on the problem of construction cost of the Kato Primary School Region 8, which contract was originally awarded to the contractor in 2013 for $780M but which has already cost approximately $1B with no end in sight.
Dear Editor,
In response to my letter which appeared in Stabroek News on Sept 29 regarding cost overruns at the Kato Primary School (KPS) being constructed in the Potaro-Siparuni Region, Lindon Stephney apparently Minister of State Joseph Harmon’s spokesman has stated elsewhere [see also letter above] that he was of the opinion that these were not due “to poor design but poor management of the greedy and corrupt.”
Dear Editor,
Your paper carried several news reports as well as an editorial (Aug 30) and several letters on the long-term lease of the state-owned Red House to the Cheddi Jagan Research Inc, a private entity.
Dear Editor,
I refer to your story ‘NIS insurable income ceiling up by 17%’ (Stabroek News, October 3), in which you note that the National Insurance Scheme (NIS) announced an increase in the monthly insurable income ceiling via an advertisement in the Mirror newspaper.
Dear Editor,
As is very much known by the public, the National Blood Transfusion Services (NBTS) located within the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation’s compound is in dire need of blood and constantly urges healthy individuals to become voluntary blood donors.
Dear Editor,
Since the rice last crop many farmers owe rice-harvester owners thousands of dollars in West Coast Berbice, and they owe the Mahaica, Mahaicony, Abary Agricultural Development Authority (MMA/ ADA) drainage and irrigation charges.
Dear Editor,
The arrest and subsequent charging of four police officers in the ‘cocaine bus’ bribe case represents a possibly significant development for the Guyana Police Force and larger society.
Dear Editor,
Recently a letter of mine relating to the number of fatal accidents involving pedestrians was published in both the Stabroek News and Kaieteur News.
Dear Editor,
Since there are no legal or political avenues open to those who are not directors or have the right to vote in meetings of the WICB, perhaps such outsiders should use their powers of persuasion to plead with the insiders to do something.
Dear Editor,
On August 7, 2005 your newspaper was kind enough to publish my letter on D’Urban Park, which in an edited version is restated below as the recommendations contained therein are still relevant.
Dear Editor,
I was taken by surprise when upon paying the monthly charges for internet usage (as I usually do) I still could not connect to the internet, so I called customer service and after a lengthy wait on the phone line I was finally connected to an agent who after checking my account told me that I still have an outstanding amount which I must pay before my internet service could be restored.
