Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, Please allow me to use your column to highlight a dangerous piece of mischief circulated this past Sunday on the internet (Facebook) by someone using the name Tamara Deokumarie.

Dear Editor Emancipation, and the accretion and extension of the ideas and practice of human rights that it helped release, must be placed in its global historical context.

Dear Editor, My conversations with people all over the country over the last two weeks reveal rising political apathy. 

Dear Editor, I would like to express my appreciation to Medi-Care for the good customer service that I received from the Prescription Department.

Dear Editor, As the situation in Lethem worsens due to the acute shortage of critical supplies, such as rations and fuel, as a consequence of the protest action in Linden, residents of this community are wondering if we are collateral damage in this ongoing saga and whether our needs are not considered important enough for those so called freedom activists, leaders and politicians to encourage the protestors to allow at least fuel and rations to pass through en route to Lethem and other outlying communities which are presently being affected by this protest.

Dear Editor, After reading and re-reading Mr Anand Goolsarran’s carefully crafted letter to SN, Sunday, July 22, one feels compelled to make some observations, even though they relate to what may be regarded as (minor) details.

Dear Editor, I feel sorry for President Ramotar. Though the bulk of my sympathy is usually reserved for the suffering masses, there is still some left for the man.

Dear Editor, The opening of the 30th Olympic Games in London 2012, I have to say was what I expected of the ceremony, and it was very satisfying.

Dear Editor, I thank you for publishing my letter of 16th July under the heading `Inverter Issue’ in your July 28th issue of SN and seek your further help in correcting the impression given by Mr.

Dear Editor, The theme for Emancipation 2012 is ‘Reclaiming Our Rights through Unified Purpose.‘

Dear Editor, I wish to join those who have mourned in public the loss of three precious lives – Shemroy Bouyea of Silvertown, Allan Lewis of Wismar Hill and Ron Somerset of Wisroc – and to join those who have denounced the opening of deadly fire on  citizens protesting for whatever reason.

Dear Editor, I refer to the article on page 19 of the Stabroek News of Thursday, July 26 headlined, ‘APNU leads “Day of Mourning” demonstrations in city,’ where Region 10 Chairman Sharma Soloman was quoted as saying, “I think there is one law that applies to the people of Linden and one that applies to the people of Albion because I have seen persons blocking roads in Albion, which impedes the flow of traffic, and nobody has been killed so far.”

Dear Editor, LINSEED (Linden Supporting Efforts for the Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities) expresses deepest condolences to the families of those who lost their lives on the evening of July 18 when police opened fire on peaceful protesters on the Mckenzie-Wismar Bridge.

Dear Editor, I read your article (SN, July 24) captioned, ‘Digicel announces up to 88 % reduction on international rates –GT&T says appealing judge’s ruling, stay granted’ and thought this was a good opportunity to link this situation with the Olympics, the usefulness of effective oversight by a vibrant Public Utilities Commission, and the benefits consumers enjoy from competition.

Dear Editor, The recent statements by Mr Clinton Collymore concerning homosexuality are so ridiculous and outlandish that I feel that as a candidate for the PPP/Civic in the last elections,  I need to let the public realize that Mr Collymore does not speak for me.

Dear Editor, The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) acknowledges receipt of your correspondence dated July 4, 2012, with regard to obtaining comments on issues raised in a letter which you received for publication. 

Dear Editor, As I watched West Indies v New Zealand on the first and second days, a few telling observations were noted.

Dear Editor With great respect, one cannot help but remark on the organisational confusion which attends the Mayor and City Councillors, Georgetown, and their implementors (or tormentors?).

Dear Editor, Reference is made to recent letters and editorials in SN on the Linden shootings.

Dear Editor, I hope that struggling, hardworking Guyanese are suitably impressed with their ‘working class champions’ from the ‘working class’ party in the Office of the President.
