Dear Editor,
The recent announcement by Presidential Advisor Gail Teixeira that the government is seriously thinking of establishing a local law school in light of the recent decision taken by the Council of Legal Education to no longer grant twenty-five LLB students from the University of Guyana places in the Hugh Wooding Law School in Trinidad is a step in the right direction.
Dear Editor,
Only in Guyana would its citizens be at the mercy of criminals, as in the case of Rajendra Singh.
Dear Editor,
Despite the huge amount of the budget allocated to the Ministry of Education, female education will not improve because Guyana continues to be a male dominated society where women are not seen as equal partners with their male counterparts.

In a previous letter, ‘Racial constructs are man-made’ (SN, April 1), I wrote this: “Politicians do not come right out and tell us to hate our fellow Guyanese; they imply things, they use innuendo and manipulative rhetoric; they try to make us afraid of others.”

As a Member of Parliament, representing Region 10 on A Partnership for National Unity’s slate, there was cause to make reference to Dr Cheddi Jagan’s philosophy as Leader of the PPP during my Budget presentation, in an effort to jolt the memory of members on the government side in the National Assembly as how far they have strayed from their revered leader, and how much they have betrayed his legacy.
Dear Editor,
It is noticeable that women today have flooded the legal profession which only a few years ago was mainly a profession dominated by men.
Dear Editor,
Town Councils and NDCs are stagnated by lack of finance owing to poor rate collection.

A columnist wrote recently and fluently of the supposed WPA response to the PPP’s National Patriotic Front Proposals of 1977.
Dear Editor,
PPP/C General Secretary Clement Rohee, recently took umbrage at what he said was a tendency of members of the opposition to invoke the name of Dr Cheddi Jagan.
Dear Editor,
A letter in the print media recently requested answers of, and made statements on, the Guyana National Service which caught my attention: “…how many National Service Guyanese who picked cotton all day in the sun have become gainfully employed in agriculture fulltime is unknown.”
Dear Editor,
Those whom Cheddi Jagan lifted from obscurity to megalomania at Freedom House are concerned about Stabroek News tarnishing of the legacy of Bharrat Jagdeo.
