Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, Dr Dabydeen’s response to both myself and Ruel Johnson’s enquiries into the operational construct of the Caribbean Press are but skirmishes and façades amidst loud, meaningless proclamations.

Dear Editor, I would like to take this opportunity to share with your readers a few scenes that visitors to Guyana using the Cheddi Jagan International Airport encounter from the point of exiting the plane to Rahaman’s Park Junction.

Dear Editor, The AFC must be commended for initiating this courageous balking of the PPP political bull in a china shop antic with the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering of Financing Terrorism Act (AMLCFTA).

Dear Editor, It is indeed sad to learn about the deferral of the Order of Companions of O R Tambo to Forbes Burnham.

Dear Editor, Having read an article in Kaieteur News of Wednesday, May 8, in relation to the Marriott Hotel which reads in part: “It [Marriott] has imposed itself over the Kingston skyline, so much so that those at sea, who so require, are now unable to detect the signal from the lighthouse.”

Dear Editor, In an SN article of May 18, it appears that the Ministry of Public Works (MPW) has decided to take some action to contain the erosion of the Georgetown foreshore which has resulted in overtopping of the sea defence at its eastern boundary.

Dear Editor, The demands made by the political opposition as preconditions for giving support to the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Act are just.

Dear Editor, Jeffrey R Thomas, a senior minister in the Burnham government (‘The Oliver Tambo Award is about the internal politics of South Africa…’ Stabroek News, May 13), enters the debate over the indefinite deferral of an Oliver Tambo Award for Forbes Burnham by warning President Zuma that South Africa’s “undisputed international respectability” is threatened by his “flip-flopping” on Burnham’s deserved award. 

Dear Editor, Guyana is the way it is today because of people like me and you.

Dear Editor, I have read Mr Hamilton Green’s letter to Stabroek News published on May 15 captioned ‘The city councilors acted out of sheer frustration…’ and I feel compelled to rise to the defence of Ms Sooba, the acting Town Clerk.

Dear Editor, The Guyana Bauxite and General Workers Union (GB&GWU) applauds the workers of the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) and their union, the National Associa-tion of Agricultural, Commer-cial and Industrial Employees (NAACIE), for the just concluded Arbitration Award.

Dear Editor, Mr Ruel Johnson can bark and snarl as much as he likes, but doggerel, much less ‘puppyrel,’ will not be published by the Caribbean Press.

Dear Editor, The Bartica-Issano road is one of the most active and economically viable stretches of road in our country as it provides access to a number of major mining locations, including the 9 and 14 Miles mining areas, Kuribrong river, Honey Camp, et al.

Dear Editor, Over recent months there has been disaster after disaster at the sea wall from Kitty to Liliendaal; this is the result of a situation similar to that which Winston Churchill outlined in his famous speech on November 12, 1936 in the British parliament.

Dear Editor, While the Guyana Post Office Corporation has being around for decades, we sometimes forget to recognise its contribution to society and our country as a whole.

Dear Editor, I would like to add my two pennies to the Georgetown restoration project.

Dear Editor, I just read an article on demerarawaves which quoted Minister Benn as suggesting that tolls will be charged for the use of roads and or bridges in the Rupununi during the rainy season.

Dear Editor, The interview in Stabroek News with Dr David Dabydeen, published on Tuesday, May 14, unveils a bizarre preoccupation with self-importance.

Dear Editor, Could someone responsible for the operations of the Guyoil filling stations see that action is taken to repair the air compressors which have been out of order for a number of months at some of the outlets?

Dear Editor, Guyana has certainly found itself in an extraordinary situation where the PPP government was notified since May 2011 that it needs to make certain amendments to the money laundering Bill but the Minister of Legal Affairs and the Minister of Finance only woke up in April 2013.
