Dear Editor,
Even as I extend heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of those who were injured and died in Linden in the ongoing protest, I would like to point out that this situation is a reflection of the poor leadership of those who advertise themselves as leaders and representatives of the region.
Dear Editor,
We write in relation to the UN press release on the meetings of the Committee on Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) on July 10, 2012, at which the Guyana Government’s periodic reports were presented and discussed.
Dear Editor,
I pen this letter to register my disappointment at the misrepresentation of an interview that I gave to the Stabroek News which implied in its Sunday, July 15, 2012 report that I sought to justify the opinions expressed in a letter and by extension the Guyana Chronicle editorial of July 2 for which I had earlier offered an apology.
Dear Editor,
Allow me first of all to express my sympathy and condolences to the fellow Guyanese who were either killed or injured during last Thursday’s peaceful demonstrations in Linden.
Dear Editor,
On any given day as one travels from Beterverwagting to Georgetown, one is apt to encounter obstacles to the smooth flow of traffic, such as packs of dogs, herds of cows, droves of asses or herds of horses.
Dear Editor,
Now that it is clear that the standard procedures were not used to confront what was an obviously peaceful protest at Linden, no stone must be left unturned in the pursuit of clarity and the implementation of justice.
Dear Editor,
Traditionally, in this country, the political scene has been dominated by ‘giants.‘
Dear Editor,
Stabroek News of Wednesday, July 11 last, carried correspondence from Imran Khan which sought to denigrate President Donald Ramotar’s “alleged unqualified advisors” and discredit the President’s remarks at the opening ceremony of the 33rd Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of Caricom in St Lucia a few days ago (‘An internationally embarrassing episode’).
Dear Editor,
The events in Linden call for the authorities of our country to mend fences and protect the people of Guyana from violence and bloodshed.
Dear Editor,
I write as a member of the PNC and a national candidate of the APNU in the 2011 election to support a letter published in the Stabroek News on July 17.
Dear Editor,
Please permit me to add my own contribution to the issue surrounding the purchase of the boat by the Guyana Police Force (GPF) in 2009.
Dear Editor,
Amidst the swirl and fury of the Linden shooting deaths, I detect that the PPP government has decided on a particular approach to address its current minority status in parliament.
Dear Editor,
It is sad to note where our country is heading.
Dear Editor,
It is interesting to observe the vigorous campaigning by some senior members of the PNC as that party prepares to elect a new leader.
Dear Editor,
The Berbice Cricket Board must be complimented for its principled and responsible stand against the recent efforts of a few individuals who seem hell-bent on violating the laws and ethical values of our society.
Dear Editor,
In conversations I had with Guyanese and other immigrants in the US, there is overwhelming support for President Obama’s new immigration policy granting a reprieve from deportation for young undocumented immigrants who have not run afoul of the law and who are in school or working.
Dear Editor,
I thought it would be prudent to let some of the dust settle before I venture in a personal capacity into the controversy over the now infamous Guyana Chronicle editorial of July 3.
Dear Editor,
Animals are left to stray on the roadways of this country, and it is clear that we have made the roads a pasture, while the authorities have been unable or reluctant to stop this.
Dear Editor,
In my letter regarding the recent confirmation of Mrs Geetanjali Singh as an Audit Director in the Auditor General’s Office, I described the ensuing public reaction, as an “imbroglio, politically inspired and concocted,” and contended that the same constituted an “attack by members of the legislature and their cohorts” upon the Auditor General’s constitutionally and statutorily guaranteed independence (‘The squabble over conflict of interest in the Audit Office is much ado about nothing’ SN, July 13).
Dear Editor,
It seems as though the Police Complaints Department of the Ministry of Home Affairs only handles ‘special’ cases against the police.
