Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor,  It seems that there is gridlock in Guyana because of the lack of co-operation between the government and the combined opposition forces since government proposed Bills cannot be passed if they are blocked by the combined opposition and successful opposition Bills cannot become law because the President can refuse to give his assent.

Dear Editor, The media (TV, print, audio, etc) took centre stage with the coverage of the US presidential elections, prior to, during and after the outcome.

Dear Editor, Whenever there is an increase in traffic fines, the traffic cops reap the benefit: no one likes to be asked to “drive to the station” for simple human infractions such as driving two points over the speed limit, driving over an already dead animal on the road, reversing on the road from a residential gap even though it is safe to do so, driving through an amber light  when it came on about a second ago, etc.

Dear Editor, The Guyana Police Force wishes to respond to an article published in the Stabroek News on Wednesday October 17, 2012, under the caption ‘Granger: Police have killed 288 in 17 years‘ in which leader of the People’s National Congress Reform, Brigadier David Granger condemned the People’s Progressive Party/Civic administration, the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Guyana Police for the deaths of over 288 persons in the past 17 years. 

Dear Editor, Over the last three months I’ve listened with outrage to the condemnation by PPP/C spokespersons of Lindeners blocking the Wismar/MacKenzie bridge on July 18. 

Dear Editor, I wish to recount a major incident which aroused my pet peeve while I conducted a transaction at a city bank on November 7, 2012.

Dear Editor, The more one sees of a counterpart institution in Trinidad and Tobago, the more one longs for the energy that should derive from at least the ‘industry’ of one of our private sector organisations, namely the Georgetown Chamber of Industry and Commerce and its regional affiliates.

Dear Editor, I write in relation to the Stabroek News article of November 8, 2012 captioned ‘Rohee’s “no confidence” vote unenforceable.‘

Dear Editor, It is my sincere belief that great things happen when fearless people look beyond themselves and attempt what seemed totally impossible.

Dear Editor, This habit of people building ugly, dilapidated, and disgraceful structures must stop. 

Dear Editor, Vishnu Bisram’s letter of November 9 in SN says it all concerning his polling acumen in terms of polling results and their interpretations (‘The country needs consensus and compromise’).

Dear Editor, Today our letter is going to expose the myth that Guyana’s economy is on a solid foundation during the current era. 

Dear Editor, It appears that opposition supporters are being stopped and mentally harassed at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport both when they enter and leave Guyana.

Dear Editor, After making pre-election promises to deal with corruption in government, President Donald Ramotar, almost one year later, appears more unwilling than unable to show uncompromising leadership in ensuring systematic prosecution of those who have been ripping off the state, even as the Auditor-General’s 2011 report reveals ongoing instances of bare-faced rip-offs.

Dear Editor, The 2012 Banks DIH sponsored Guyana Open played at the Lusignan Golf Club produced a thrilling display of high-class competition and those who witnessed the final three holes will never forget what they saw.

Dear Editor, The more Vishnu Bisram writes the more he lets the cat out of the bag on his many different characters and his dependency on the PPP for relevance.

Dear Editor, Sometimes there are strange happenings which we can’t explain. For instance the eastern part of the USA was devastated by Storm Sandy before the elections, only to return under another name the day after the elections and results had been obtained.

Dear Editor, Dr Joey Jagan reminds readers that I hedged my bets on an Obama victory but did not say why and he also stated, without evidence, that American political pundits wanted to pull down Obama (‘In the US Obama has committed to consensus and compromise …‘ SN, Nov 8).

Dear Editor,   Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI), the nation’s supplier of water and sanitation services, wishes to address the concerns indicated in the letter by Winston B Miller Sr, published in the Wednesday November 7, 2012 edition of your newspaper regarding the service provided to Bartica (‘GPL will not be able to cope with the Christmas load in Bartica’).

Dear Editor, I am appalled at the treatment being meted out to the NIS pensioners in Kwakwani.
