Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, The graphic image of a dog impaled on a fence (SN, Jan 7) as a result of the  bombardment of squibs which was worse than the year before, even though we were promised a proactive approach by the police has I’m sure saddened animal lovers because of the painful and unnecessary death.

Dear Editor, The Guyana Post Office Corporation (GPOC) wishes to take this opportunity to further respond to the recent letter by Cynthia Nelson published in the Stabroek News’ January 1, 2014, edition captioned ‘Envelopes received from Guyana had been cut open and retaped.’

Dear Editor, Please allow me space in your newspaper to offer congrats to the President and members of the Bush Lot Rising Star Cricket Club for hosting their first ever Christmas holiday outreach programme.

Dear Editor, Since A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) proposed the need for a new social contract on January 3, there has been a barrage of misinformed and distracting criticism from PPP/C officials and the usual PPP/C apologists.

Dear Editor, I paused and thought deeply after reading Hilbert Foster’s ‘Franklyn Langhorn is one of Guyana’s unsung heroes’ (SN, January 9).

Dear Editor, Congratulations are in order to Sunday Stabroek for their weekly feature, ‘The world beyond Georgetown.’

Dear Editor, The PPP has shown that it has little interest in our democratic rights, or our general welfare, for that matter. 

Dear Editor, Recently I woke up one morning and found my yard at Lot 54 Aurora Village, Essequibo Coast, and all of my neighbours’ yards flooded with about three to four inches of water.

Dear Editor, While viewing an evening newscast on Monday, Dec 16, 2013, a clip showed one Ms Roach making a contribution. 

Dear Editor, I refer to Mr Hydar Ally’s letter titled ‘The perception of Guyana as a crime haven is a result of media sensationalism’ (SN, Jan 7).

Dear Editor, I read with great interest a letter written by Mark De Costa under the caption ‘The PCA must be given real authority to do its work in the interest of the public’ (Stabroek News, January 1).

Dear Editor, For most people from my generation, the radio was our main source of entertainment while growing up.

Dear Editor, Among the things which join us as a people, as a nation, is a system, a culture, of fear and silence.

Dear Editor, Ralph Ramkarran writes, ‘Hall you ass’ in his latest column in SN and missive in Conversation Tree, in relation to Khemraj Ramjattan, AFC Leader, telling off Housing Minister Irfaan Ali.

Dear Editor, I read with great interest the events of the accident of the horse which occurred on Prince William Street, Plaisance on the rainy night of Saturday, December 28, 2013, and what it took to bring the matter to a decent and acceptable conclusion.

Dear Editor, I am returning to the topic of governance in Guyana, because within the last month or so, important political figures in Guyana have revised expressions on this topic.

Dear Editor, I am happy to see that, justifiably following the Minister of Culture’s red herring lamentations on funding and the Caribbean Press, the parliamentary opposition has decided to focus greater scrutiny on Dr Frank Anthony’s stewardship of public expenditure under his control, the Press in particular.

Dear Editor, The letter about the disappearance of the impounded “ewe sheep” (SN, Jan 7) gave me a hearty laugh, although it is no laughing matter when a person loses property. 

Dear Editor, Happy New Year to all at your esteemed newspaper.

Dear Editor, In response to Mr Urling’s ‘Guyana needs an integrated management plan to address the solid waste problem’ (SN, December 22), I would like to relate my experience, which might suggest to him that until such time certain public offices are staffed by officials whose integrity is beyond reproach and corruption is eliminated, the best-made management plans would most probably be ineffective.
