Letters to the Editor

Two corrections

Dear Editor, As you have mentioned correctly that I am a Gecom’s Commissioner, I hope that you publish my corrections to two inaccurate statements made in two separate editions of Stabroek News.

The present constitution has failed badly

Dear Editor, Mr Lincoln Lewis, in letters in KN of August 4 and SN of August 5 (‘The current constitution has not been tried and tested’), writes, with his usual admirable eloquence and insight, on the inadequacies of African leadership and, in particular, on its unwillingness to struggle for the glorious guarantees in the constitution.

Clarification of talk

Dear Editor, Thank you for covering my talk at the forum on “The State of Black African Guyana: a time for renewal and empowerment,” held on Sunday, August  4, 2013 (‘Guyanese African women beset by economic violence,’ SN Aug 5). 

No improved electricity supply in Cummings Lodge

Dear Editor, I live in the Cummings Lodge area and was ecstatic when I read an article in the newspapers, over a month ago, which stated that there was an upgrade in the electricity supply which was to reduce blackouts and provide an improved service for over 35,000 customers.

Cable transmission interrupted daily from mid-June

Dear Editor, In December 2012, observing my neighbour being hooked up for a television cable service from Atlantic Cable TV Network, I rushed off to their office at the Demerara Harbour Mall and immediately signed up and paid for two broadcast boxes.

Not seeking publication

Dear Editor, I believe that a person may write to provide a service to a particular population as I did for Jamaicans for five years in the course of my stay in Jamaica.

The current constitution has not been tried and tested

Dear Editor, As the nation observes the 175th anniversary since the African community was emancipated from chattel slavery, there continue to be yearly, monthly and daily analyses and evaluations of the affairs of the African community and the path this group has travelled.

Misinformation

Dear Editor,   With reference to the Ministry of Home Affairs/ Guyana Prison Service advertisement for a Plant Maintenance Supervisor in the Sunday Chronicle ‘Pepperpot’ of July 28,2013, the ministry’s principal personnel officer should be asked to explain the deliberate distortion of the Public Service salary scales.

Violence against women seems unending

Dear Editor,   The violence against our women seems unending and no one seems to have a solution for even reducing it; this gruesome abuse has reached proportions that confounds the authorities.
