Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, It is with a feeling of disgust that I learnt from your newspaper article on March 7, that APNU is opposed to the appointment of Mr Seenath Jairam, a Guyanese-born Trinidadian-based senior counsel, as a Commissioner on the Walter Rodney Commission of Inquire (COI) recently established by the Government of Guyana (‘APNU concerned over composition, terms for Walter Rodney inquiry’).

Dear Editor, I refer to Mr Philip Allsopp’s letter in SN dated March 13(‘It would be improper to challenge the integrity of the Marriott foundation…’) and would like to say that I did not ask him as a soil expert to challenge the foundation design for the Marriott Hotel, but only to comment as regards the type of foundation designed by the Chinese for the project.

Dear Editor, It is with great apprehension that I write about the exploitation faced by commuters when using the public transportation for the East Coast Demerara route after coming off work at 16:15hrs on a daily basis.

Dear Editor, Among the issues residents living along the Potaro Road have been complaining of to the Bartica United Youth Development Group is the non-delivery of mail to their homes, and that sometimes when they go to the post office to uplift their mail they have to spend a lot of time searching through boxes for it.
