Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, Once again, we prove Guyana proves itself, we are the greatest.

Dear Editor, May I take this opportunity to congratulate Stabroek News on their discussion forum whereby ordinary people can put forward their various points of view.

Dear Editor, The Management Committee of the Guyana Prize for Literature has occasionally released information about the Prize and its activities. 

Dear Editor, I write in response to the letter by the Honourable Prime Minister (`The Guyana Energy Agency is being reasonably well run published in SN of September 14, 2013’), which he said was written out of ”a need and a duty to set the record straight, [and] dispel any erroneous concerns and doubts” created about the Guyana Energy Agency (GEA).

Dear Editor, Former Chief Justice and Chancellor of the Judiciary Desiree Bernard, was not disturbed or annoyed when the late Janet Jagan tossed the court order preventing her from being sworn in as president over her shoulder ‒ a move which was widely criticized by the opposition and the media.

Dear Editor, An opinion survey conducted in early August by the North American Caribbean Teachers Association (NACTA) found that the ruling PPP/C leads the opposition in voter support in the event early elections are called to resolve the parliamentary impasse brought about by the November 2011 general elections when the combined opposition emerged with a one seat majority.

Dear Editor, Reading the reports about GPL and the fight against electricity loss/thefts during the past week in KN and SN, I have come to the conclusion that the officials are hell bent on trying to make the public believe that electricity theft is the only problem hindering the development of the power company, whilst they fail to admit mismanagement is one of the main contributing factors to the company’s decline.

Dear Editor, Guyana is now saying the requiem of the Amaila project and hopefully that matter could be put to rest for the time being.

Dear Editor, We assume the facts in the report ‘Accuser testifies at PI into molestation charges against Muslim scholar,’ (SN, Wed, Sept 11, 2013) are correct.

Dear Editor, I continue to be dismayed by the monotonous outpourings of some letter writers to your newspaper who seem incapable of even looking at our Guyanese situation from any other perspective than their own narrow-minded, holier-than-thou positions.

Dear Editor, Mr Ranwell Jordan’s unanimous election as acting Mayor of Georgetown has revealed the following: Firstly, freed of the presence of the two Greens ‒ Patricia and Hamilton ‒ the city council could do its business in the normal constructive way. 

Dear Editor, We the concerned youths of Region 4 find that garbage disposal is a burning issue that plagues the Garden City and its surroundings.

Dear Editor, I seek your indulgence to present to the public a response to the articles regarding the Guyana Energy Agency (GEA), which appeared in the September 11 and 12 editions of the Kaieteur News, viz, ‘GEA handles US$350 million in fuel, submits questionable financial statements – Christopher Ram’; ‘AFC wants GEA thoroughly investigated ‒ Ram should be awarded the Order of Excellence -Khemraj Ramjattan’ These articles have little substance but much conjecture and suggestions, and seem intended to create (or perhaps, to suffer from) confusion and illusions of corruption.

Dear Editor, Ms Tamanisha John’s letter entitled ‘Education along with youth involvement must be promoted to achieve gains” published in SN on September 6, highlighted the need for individuals to improve themselves academically, as an important cog in the wheel of empowering the nation’s youth, alongside the programme of “servant leaders” being developed by the Linden-based organisation, Youth Vision.

Dear Editor, One would have thought that the conduct of minibus conductors following the fatal accident at Brickdam and Louisa Row a few days back would have engendered some positive change, but it was not to be.

Dear Editor, The Linden Mayor and Town Council (M&TC) is going through the mill of politics. 

Dear Editor, The process of privatizing the United Kingdom Royal Mail through a stock market flotation will begin in the coming weeks, the United Kingdom government confirms, and many Guyanese are wondering if our government has a plan to do likewise with the perennial loss-making Guyana Post Office Corporation.

Dear Editor, An advertisement appearing in the SN of August 18 on page 17A captioned ‘Guyana Football Federation Expressions of Interest’ has left me amazed.

Dear Editor, Walter Rodney is not dead. He has risen. He has a new name and body.

Dear Editor, I must thank Mr Basir for reporting such good news about education at the Essequibo Technical Institute (‘Essequibo Technical Institute is training more than three hundred students,’ SN, Sept 9).
