Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, How is it that the alleged sexual assault on Colwyn Harding is still being investigated two months after it is said to have occurred, whilst Mr Harding remains hospitalised?

Dear Editor, I would like to express frustration at the unconcerned attitude of GT&T for not fixing the telephone services of dozens of residents in the East Canje area, particularly  Cumberland Village.

Dear Editor, In all the debates on the various issues which are attracting our attention and interest from time to time, whether it be the opinion-makers in feature columns and readers’ letters in our newspapers, between leaders of rival political parties, or among members of the public, we can see clearly that everyone is so convinced of the rightness of his/her own position, and so intent on converting everyone else to his/her own views, that people are simply not listening to one another.

Dear Editor, Two years ago there was a furore in some quarters when employees of the Guyana Energy Agency were being dismissed after allegedly failing a polygraph test.

Dear Editor, Amidst the allegations and defences in the unfolding Colwyn Harding matter, I reserve judgment.

Dear Editor, I refer to my column, ‘Righting the wrongs: the role of the Ombudsman,’ (SN, January 18) in which I inadvertently stated that the role of the Ombudsman was enshrined in our Constitution in 1996.

Dear Editor,   I have noted your reports on a proposed incinerator for Georgetown and would like to point out in this internet age it is not rocket science to carry out ‘due diligence.’

Dear Editor, ‘Why y’all out here? Was it your sons/brothers/fathers that got killed in Linden?’

Dear Editor, Firstly I must commend the President of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) for affording the football fraternity some level of insight into the selection process of the technical director, head coach and players for preparation for national duty.

Dear Editor, Another good Guyanese has gone. Farewell Terry Holder ‒ he always had a smile and a twinkle in his eye.

Dear Editor, We sometimes take for granted the extent to which we enjoy religious freedom and tolerance in Guyana.

Dear Editor, Bel Air Park has become a reservoir for floodwaters, more than ten inches of it every time the rain falls. 

Dear Editor, I am writing this letter because I believe that every Guyanese should be as mad as I am about the incident of the police allegedly sodomizing a man (Colwyn Harding) with a baton.

Dear Editor, I read with some disquiet a most detailed epistle in the Stabroek News, authored by Mr Khemraj Ramjattan, attorney-at-law, in respect of the case filed by Bashir Mohamed against the Chief Works Officer and the Attorney General.

Dear Editor, At what point in his presidency is Mr Ramotar going to say, “enough is enough, we have to do something about the filthy and drowning state of Georgetown”?
