Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, The Sunday papers are losing sight of the real Guyana; there is the need for greater care when disseminating the ‘facts.’ 

Dear Editor, It boggles the mind how, after a constitutional process that began in 1999 and lasted for more than two years, in which the opportunity existed and was taken for us to totally rewrite our constitution, one can still speak, as Mr Vishnu Bisram does, of the present constitution being a Burnham/PNC constitution (‘No party has a right to foist a constitution on a people,’ SN, February 14).

Dear Editor, Anyone who read, listened to or watched Dr Roger Forbes Luncheon’s latest reply to the question of the China TV deal must have been dismayed at what he said.

Dear Editor, With respect to the presentation at Moray House of the 1972 book by Mr Eusi Kwayana entitled The Bauxite Strike and the Old Politics, at which I was present, please allow me to state my story with some elaboration in order to set the context and, hence, aid understanding of an historic time.

Dear Editor, A Guyanese friend of mine in New York asked me Thursday what I thought of the unfolding events in Guyana, vis-à-vis the role of the Chinese in the Marriott and the CCTV national embarrassments, and I responded with a question of my own: What does President Donald Ramotar think?

Dear Editor, The Speaker in Parliament or Congress is elected by a majority vote, and is expected to lead in realising an agenda set by the majority with the input of the minority, with the intent that the society shall benefit from the best ideas, since no individual or specific group has all the answers to resolving the problems and influencing the desires of the people.

Dear Editor, While it’s definitely not my intention for this letter to be construed as an attack on the character of anyone, nevertheless it remains my firm and humble opinion, that ahead of the Guyana Football Federation’s Ordinary Congress and the election of office bearers, (GFF’s mandate ends on April 19, 2013), the Georgetown Football Association (GFA) should convene an emergency General Council meeting to deal specifically with choosing candidates for the respective positions to be contested within the GFF executive.

Dear Editor, There were two recent anonymous letters appearing in the Guyana Chronicle newspaper attacking the Doctor in Business Administration degree that I obtained from the Robert Kennedy College (RKC) in Switzerland as well as the publication of my book, Improving Public Accountability: the Guyana Experience 1985 – 2007.

Dear Editor, What really is wrong with using Chinese labour if our people are totally incompetent?

Dear Editor, There are a few things that defy logic. Perhaps the Guyana Police Force or your readers could enlighten me.

Dear Editor, Despite high prevalence of alcohol addiction for decades in Guyana, little professional help is available for the addict, leaving many to live a poor quality of life, eventually succumbing prematurely to this disease. 

Dear Editor, Over the last few days, the Public Relations division of the council has been bombarded with questions and comments from members of the public about an advertisement in the media for suitably qualified persons to fill certain vacancies at the Mayor and City Council.

Dear Editor, For the Chinese it is standard operating procedure to bring in their own workers when doing major contracts overseas.

Dear Editor, Finance Minister, Dr Ashni Singh, has attempted to deflect from the telling growth in the National Debt in three months.

Dear Editor, Around 4th May, 2011 in the run-up to the elections, I did a commentary which was aired on CNS Channel 6 in which I made certain allegations regarding the agenda of Juan Edghill and Bharrat Jagdeo. 

Dear Editor, I had reason to visit the East La Penitence Police Station and was appalled at the garbage pile-up in front of the eastern gate.
