Dear Editor, Professor Clive Thomas in his column titled ‘GuySuCo’s under-performance: The explosion of costs’ published in the March 16, 2014 Sunday Stabroek, among other things, spoke to the high employment costs in the sugar industry.

Dear Editor, I refer to a letter you printed by Mr Patrick Holder dated March 21, and captioned ‘Home owner has built concrete pavement over drain, parapet 15” high in some parts.’

Dear Editor, Unfortunately for all Guyanese, and particularly so for the next generation, our country’s politics continue to be dominated by divisive forces, personalities and rhetoric which hinder national development.

Dear Editor, Mr Abu Bakr responded to my letter which highlighted his trivialization of the Caricom reparations initiative with the same prism and circle of self-deception as did his first letter (‘Phillips’ narrative minimises the culture that made the deal possible’ Sunday Stabroek, March 23).

Dear Editor, The response by the Ministry of Education (MOE) Public Relations Officer (‘No major overcrowding at any level in the public education system,’ SN, March 24) to the comments made by the General Secretary of the Guyana Teachers Union in a KN article in the March 19 edition has once again affirmed the views of many teachers and members of the GTU, that there is a great need for new leadership in the union.

Dear Editor, I am appealing to the Guyana Learning Channel to refer to the Mathematics Curriculum Guides and the Interactive Radio Instruction Programme to gain insight into how times should be recorded in its programme schedule rather than its current am/pm system.

Dear Editor, The PPP/C seems hell bent on blaming the opposition for their failures and their incompetence in managing our country; the failure of the sugar industry is also being blamed on the opposition, which is something only a fool will believe.

Dear Editor, Note is taken of the call made  by Mr Yesu Persaud  in  Stabroek News (March15) to President Donald Ramotar, Messrs David Granger and Khemraj Ramjattan to pass the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism  (AML/CFT) Bill in parliament.

Dear Editor, Days before President Donald Ramotar’s beleaguered administration is set to present what threatens to be the most contentious budget in the history of the PPP’s twenty-two years in government, the ‘results’ of a clearly concocted poll appears in the Guyana Times, owned by former President Bharrat Jagdeo’s good friend Dr Bobby Ramroop, declaring that Jagdeo is by far the best PPP candidate for the next general elections. 

Dear Editor, Corporal punishment violates human rights, physical integrity and human dignity; it leaves lasting scars on children and must be thrown out of our schools.

Dear Editor, As a patriotic Guyanese, no matter where in the world I am, I find it many times disconcerting when Guyanese who have settled in the USA keep on disparaging their country in some way.
