Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, Many Guyanese deludedly see former president Jagdeo as a good economic steward and as the architect of Guyana’s improved economic fortunes.

Dear Editor, It is indisputable that the challenger Mitt Romney won Wednesday’s US presidential debate with President Obama, but it will not necessarily change the outcome of the presidential race in which Obama was leading in all of the opinion polls.

Dear Editor, With reference to the article in yesterday’s Stabroek News dated October 04, 2012 captioned, `Lindeners demand Justice as shooting commission visits’ on page 12, I wish to state that the article is erroneous because it was not the people of Linden but Mark Benschop and his sidekick Norman Browne attempting to attack the solid record of representation of the people of Linden by the PNCR /APNU leaders.

Dear  Editor, There is one secondary school in the Mabaruma Sub-region which caters mainly for the successful Grade Six Assessment pupils. 

Dear Editor, During the decade of the 1950s I happened to work in three different locations.

Dear Editor, One wonders what it will take for Guyanese to take a stand on all the things that are destroying the physical and mental well-being of us citizens.

Dear Editor, I was leased Lot 50, a seven-and-a-half acre of land in Hosororo in the Mabaruma sub-region  about thirty years ago.

Dear Editor, In a recent conversation with a couple of old colleagues from my younger days I was struck by the depth of their love for this country. 

Dear Editor, I was there and I witnessed it all. I was impressed too.

Dear Editor, The programme ‘I am Guyanese’ aired on Channel 6 on Friday, September 28, 2012, raised more questions on the purported subject of ‘education’ which the guests – the Chief Education Officer and the Secretary, Guyana Teachers’ Union – were invited to discuss.

Dear Editor, I thank Mr Alex Graham for his details on the scope of the public awareness campaign for the National Census printed in Stabroek News on Monday October 1, 2012.

Dear Editor, It is so disheartening to know that the simple things that ought to be done – no-brainers – are left unattended by those in charge unless and until there is some form of complaint, disaster, confrontation or protest. 

Dear Editor, I assume my friends who hold high positions in our society will hang their heads in shame.

Dear Editor, Some time in 2010, roughly three years ago, the Ministry of Housing allocated house lots to individuals in Section D, Non Pareil, East Coast Demerara, for residential purposes.

Dear Editor, The question of piracy in general and the specific issue of the piracy of textbooks no longer lie within the legal framework of prosecuting this or that printer, now that the state has revealed that citizens were given the mandate to steal from a Cabinet consensus.

Dear Editor, When child sexual abuse occurs the results are damaging psychologically, and they range from suicidal ideation, to substance abuse, to loss of sexual identity, to anxiety, to promiscuity.

Dear Editor, ‘Something is rotten in the country of Guyana.’ Like Denmark, in Shakespeare’s play Hamlet, our beloved country is festering in a state of moral and political corruption, but the people of Guyana must look further into the reply offered by Horatio when he said, “Heaven will direct it.”

Dear Editor, I recently visited the Passport Office to have my passport renewed.

Dear Editor, The people of Region 10 will persevere and succeed.

Dear Editor, The controversial piracy of text books issue that dominated the headlines in the past weeks following the rather intemperate statement by a senior government official fizzled out after much heat with no light at the end of the discourse.
