Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, There are some similarities in political jousting by a former president in Sri Lanka and one in Guyana as each seeks to revive their political fortunes.

Dear Editor, I wish to state that I am very pleased with the 2015 budget so far.

Dear Editor, As long as five years ago, I stated that my policy is that I would not reply to anonymous letter-writers and the pen-name columnist in the Kaieteur News, ‘Peeping Tom.’

Dear Editor, It has been reported that the Chairman of GuySuCo, Dr Clive Thomas, is proposing a solution to the crisis in the sugar industry.

Dear Editor, Recently, work colleagues and friends of mine have informed me that almost daily they have had to come to my defence in relation to negative criticisms stemming from my association with the past administration, my health and my decision to stay on and support the new government.

Dear Editor, I sat in the auditorium of the National Culture Centre last Sunday, as an invitee to the Ahmadiyya’s Muslim annual Jalsa Salana celebrations and heard Mayor Hamilton Green make a pitch to the remigrant community.

Dear Editor, Since April, 2011, Australia lost 5 of 9 overseas series, suffering crushing defeats against India, Pakistan and England.

Dear Editor, It is fair to say that for some time now, because of Guyana’s increasing sugar production costs coupled with the low world sugar price, the future for sugar without the EU price support was decidedly doubtful, even as far back as the 1980s.

Dear Editor, I’ve been very critical of badly constructed roads and drains in Lindentown.

Dear Editor, Please allow me to plead with the new government to address the unfair dealings meted out to Guyana Power and Light (GPL) consumers.

Dear Editor, One of the promises of the present government in its 100 days plan is to increase the old age pension.

Dear Editor, The fall of the PPP government brought a sigh of relief from the masses.

Dear Editor,   Your news article, `DPP advised cops to charge Rodrigues with Crum-Ewing murder,’ (SN August 9) should have been providing closure for relatives of Courtney Crum-Ewing, but as one of many observers closely following the March 10th execution-style killing and its continuing narrative, I have to admit something is not adding up with the decision to charge alleged trigger man Regan Rodrigues alone.

Dear Editor, First my appreciation for publishing my letter of July 26th on the above issue.

Dear Editor, Happy Anniversary! What are we celebrating? The last time local government elections (LGE) were held in Guyana was August 8, 1994.

Dear Editor,   On Sunday morning, I went to St Pius Roman Catholic church on Cemetery Road to share in a celebration.

Dear Editor, The evidence is patent: ‘Baby Heart Foundation completes 31 surgeries successfully’ (and in this vein, Cardiac Unit Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the foundation, Dr Rodrigo Soto, appealed for the Guyana government’s support in establishing a paediatric and cardiac world-class unit at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPHC); and ‘11 corneal transplants done at GPHC’ (dealing with corneal transplants, performed recently at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), by specialists brought in from a United States (US) based foundation, located in Queens, New York).

Dear Editor, The motion before the High Court contending that Messrs Winston Felix and Keith Scott are not lawful members of the National Assembly and therefore cannot be appointed “technocrat ministers” says that the plain language and intention of Articles 60, 103, 105, 160 and 232 of the constitution are clear enough to resolve the matter.

Dear Editor, The Guyana Prize for Litera-ture has had cause to reschedule its timetable this year, and will not announce the shortlist until after Carifesta XII, mainly because of the scheduling of the regional festival itself.

Dear Editor, Reference is made to a letter, signed by Norman Whittaker, captioned, ‘There must be adequate preparations for local government elections’ (SN, August 7), in which Mr Whittaker attempted to make a case for the further delay in the holding of local government elections (LGE).
