Letters to the Editor

No time for laughing in Guyana

Dear Editor, Of all the preposterous things I’ve heard, few can beat the statement made yesterday in the National Assembly by Minister Robeson Benn, that “The Demerara Harbour Bridge is in its best state” now.

Issue of noise nuisance

Dear Editor, Once again I am forced to highlight a matter of grave concern hoping to draw attention to the combined opposition, human rights, Red Thread and any other organization that could help address this situation with fairness, and to have measures put in place swiftly so that the management of Buddy‘s Pool Hall and Night Club could carry on their business in a more humane manner and stop this gross display of arrogance and abuse of power, thereby bringing some kind of justice and relief to myself and family.

Wrong signatory

Dear Editor, With reference to a letter dated April 18, 2012 published by Kaieteur News under the caption, ‘The Home Affairs Minister has over stepped his bounds,‘ that also mentioned bureaucratic officials, the Chief Justice, Commissioner of Police, Chief of Staff, et al, it was alleged to have been written and signed by me, Alfred Johnson, ex Police NCO 8753.

What caused the police to take the action they did in Linden?

Dear Editor, After massive public outrage and condemnation of the barbaric action which took place at Linden, Minister of Home Affairs Clement Rohee on Sunday, July 22, came out and laid blame squarely at the feet of members of the Guyana Police Force for the deaths and serious injuries.

Hopefully next weekend will bring on Olympian-worthy events

Dear Editor, Another Friday evening – this time of two sundowners, followed not long after by coffee brewed deliberately to restore my mind from an overwhelming sense of fragmentation: –     The sight of groups of adults, children (unarmed) disarmingly protesting against powerlessness and darkness, and the tragic intervention of ‘pelleted’ weapons aimed to fragment lives.

Ramotar should let Rohee go

Dear Editor,    History and experience have taught us that a responsible government must express a moral obligation to uphold values and lead with honour, dignity and fairness.

Chaos at stelling on Monday was predictable

Dear Editor, After numerous letters expressing my concern about the Demerara Harbour Bridge, the ferry stelling at Vreed-en-Hoop and the conditions that commuters face travelling with speedboats, all of these problems together manifested themselves on Monday and have caused me to be in a state which I cannot express in words.
