Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, There have been a considerable number of views offered about increases in pay to both parliamentarians and public servants at this juncture.

Dear Editor, An interesting legal issue has arisen in the tiny state of St Kitts/Nevis where lawyers have filed a suit in the courts to block the Attorney General from removing the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) from office.

Dear Editor, I applaud Pastor Wendell Jeffrey (I don’t know him) for his no-nonsense letter in SN on August 11 delineating his perplexity regarding the government’s remigration programme.

Dear Editor, Reference is made to your August 12, 2015 edition under the article captioned ‘Jagdeo blames Skeldon sugar project failings on Booker Tate’s “incompetence”’.

Dear Editor, While polling in Trinidad in the critical St Joseph constituency, I met Uncle Lenny Lall, who, in addition to relating his opinion on the upcoming elections in Trinidad, had an interesting story to tell of his work experience in Guyana and about Guyanese hospitality after he realized I am Guyanese.

Dear Editor, Hardly a day passes without an embarrassing soap opera-like episode in Guyana, but at the end of the day regardless of where the blame falls, the only people who are suffering are our hard-working Guyanese men and women, not to mention our large youth population which is caught in this acid-like blame game.

Dear Editor, We learn little things from our environment and nature every day once we pay attention.

Dear Editor, Various media reports indicate that the government is considering giving concessions to small-scale gold miners because of financial distress.

Dear Editor, President Granger’s recent announcement of an enquiry into the killings in the first decade of this century suggests a welcome development in his thinking.

Dear Editor, In regards to the Rudisa issue, I tried refraining myself from becoming involved even after the Commissioner General (CG) of the GRA had made some thoughtless comments back in May of 2014 on this matter.

Dear Editor,   Further to my letter of August 10 (‘Stand firm against our gov’t paying anything to Rudisa/CIDI,’ SN), I wish to apologize to you and your readers for I quoted the wrong reference with respect to the CCJ hearings.

Dear Editor, Guyanese citizens are been ripped off by certain Chinese’ store operators and there seems to be no recourse.

Dear Editor, Mr Bharrat Jagdeo’s decision to re-enter public office which he said in March he had no interest in, is an example of inconsistency and hypocrisy.

Dear Editor, As a former Guyanese student of the Hugh Wooding Law School (HWLS), I must say that I have been fortunate to benefit from and witness my fellow Guyanese benefit from the generosity and thoughtfulness of members of the administration at Hugh Wooding.

Dear Editor, I applied for my NIS pension one year ago.

Dear Editor, I am elated and ecstatic to see star politician, Dr Bharrat Jagdeo in the limelight again.

Dear Editor, I believe that the $221 billion dollar budget presented by the A Partnership for National Unity+Alliance For Change coalition government under the theme of a fresh approach to the good life in a green economy, is a working class budget.

Dear Editor, After abstaining for an extended period from submitting letters to the press, I decided to write this letter because, in my view, President David Granger, in his speech to the forum on the state of the African Guyanese, as reported in the Stabroek News, August, 10, ‘Granger calls for revival of village economies,’ has addressed honestly a matter of great sensitivity and utmost importance to all Guyanese.

Dear Editor, The inability of the police thus far to identify, much less arrest, the murderer of Danrasie Ganesh of Montrose despite the availability of his fingerprints all over the crime scene has caused me once again to think of Gecom’s searchable database of registrants and its possible use to fight crime.

Dear Editor, I think it was unethical for Dr Veerasammy Ramayya to address his petty problem in the press.
