Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, Some Guyanese living abroad get nostalgic at times and they compensate by romanticising the life they lived or imagined they lived in old time Guyana.

Dear Editor, There are times in a nation‘s history when men and women of reason, statesmen and stateswomen must step forward.

Dear Editor, All the mouthings of President Ramotar, Finance Minister Ashni Singh and NICIL CEO Mr Brassington, will never legalise the illegality of the activities of NICIL.

Dear Editor, If Mr Clairmont Lye (‘The power cuts in Lethem…‘ SN, May 12) or anyone else thinks that snap elections will end incompetence in Guyana, here’s an heroic quote for them: They’ve got another think coming.

Dear Editor, Reference is made to the issue of the SN advertisements withdrawal raised by Mr Ralph Ramkarran (letters of Apr 30, May 8) and news items (Apr 30 and May 6). 

Dear Editor, I refer to Clairmont Lye’s letter carried in your May 12 issue in which he highlights the failure of the Lethem Power Co Chairman as well as Region Nine Regional Executive Officer and Regional Chairman to take precautionary measures to deal with the likelihood of flooding and its dire consequences in the region (‘The power cuts in Lethem…‘).

Dear Editor, Further to my recent letter on the possibility of flooding and the resulting effect on the electricity supply in Lethem, residents have today been informed that there will be power cuts daily from midnight to 6 am in order to conserve on fuel.

Dear Editor, On Sunday, May 13, Guyana will be celebrating Mothers Day, and mothers will be pampered, praised by family and friends, et al.

Dear Editor,  S V Jones Associates, Management Consultants, must be permitted to comment on an article titled: ‘Sandra Jones Sworn in as GECOM Commissioner‘ appearing in the Guyana Times of Tuesday, May 8, 2012.

Dear Editor, The arrival of Surinam Airways (SLM) over the skies of Guyana comes at a critical time when Caribbean Airlines (CAL) is facing major financial troubles.

Dear Editor, Fair is foul, and foul is fair: through the fog and filthy air.

Dear Editor, From the time that the new session of Guyana’s parliament commenced, the PPP/C regime has been delivering childish complaints.

Dear Editor, There is a popular saying that ‘curiosity killed the cat.’ 

Dear Editor, I am asking for two bridges to be built between Kaneville and Grove/Diamond new housing scheme to facilitate schoolchildren especially, and persons traversing from one side to the other for work reasons.

Dear Editor, Vishnu Bisram’s letter dated May 9, and published in the Stabroek News under the caption ‘Critics of the former presidents benefits act should look at what is done in the US’ exposes the wrongs of the act rather than providing justification for it.

Dear Editor, I refer to the letter by Mr Lincoln Lewis in the Stabroek News of Tuesday, May 8, 2012, captioned, ‘The President has opted for a “divide and rule” strategy’.

Dear Editor, Today’s SN (‘Sophia mother drops dead after cops open fire in area‘) and yesterday’s SN front page  (‘Werk-en-Rust residents accuse cops of reckless shooting during chase‘) convey some disturbing news concerning the police which I trust would be thoroughly investigated and corrective action taken to build confidence and trust between the police and law abiding-citizens.

Dear Editor, I would like to express my concern about illegal Brazilians mining in Guyana.

Dear Editor, Permit me a few lines to express profound gratitude on behalf of the Board, management, staff and homepartners of Habitat for Humanity Guyana Inc (HFH Guyana ) for continuous support of several local and international private sector organizations who have exemplified social responsibility and concern for the housing needs of poor families in Guyana.

Dear Editor, In the Guyana Times, a letter writer says that Guyanese need to take “child abuse” cases much more seriously.
