Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, This is inform you about a serious matter developing in the National Park.

Dear Editor, This lead question in a recent article in the CIPD professional journal seems just as timely and pertinent in our national affairs as indeed it is in our workplaces.

Dear Editor, I saw Shivnarine Chanderpaul play his first Test match at Bourda in 1994, when rumour had it that Captain Richie Richardson was not in favour of Shiv playing Test cricket yet.

Dear Editor, I write in response to the rambling comments of Minister Bheri Ramsaran in the Stabroek News of April 24, 2012.

Dear Editor, I previously voiced my displeasure at the daily sight of an innocent child whose duty it is to assist his begging and mentally challenged mother, but absolutely nothing has been done by the relevant authorities as the child continues to be denied an education and a better standard of living.

Dear Editor, Stabroek News report dated April 25, captioned ‘Despite seniority, Brumell unlikely to be confirmed top cop,’ if accurate, is likely to cause even more concern to the citizenry with respect to the whole question of fairness.

Dear Editor, In an article in KN captioned, ‘Local writer calls for massive investment in arts and culture,’  it is reported that “writer, artist and folklorist Barrington Braithwaite is calling on Government to make massive investments in Guyana’s underdeveloped but potentially rich cultural industry.”

Dear Editor, With a constantly rising population due to the construction of new homes, particularly in the community of Parfaite Harmonie, coupled with recent fires, there is an urgent need for a centrally located fire station on the West Bank of Demerara.

Dear Editor, I was a little disappointed to learn that going to Kaieteur from Ogle could be equal or more costly than going to Trinidad and Tobago from Guyana.

Dear Editor, I wish to raise a concern with the Minister of Home Affairs, Commissioner of Police, Traffic Chief and the nation as a whole.

Dear Editor, The Demerara Harbour Bridge has issued a notice that from April 29 to May 5 2012 the bridge would be operating with a single-lane.

Dear Editor, In the last general election the people of Guyana spoke in no uncertain terms, indicating they will not loyally put up with the government’s management of the economy.

Dear Editor, It is good income tax relief is being given to twenty-one thousand employees, mostly those earning in excess of the public sector minimum salary, but what about those employees already exempted from income tax by virtue of their depressed wages, such as security guards, domestics, waitresses, shop assistants, pump attendants et al, who barely earn enough to cope with the continuous increase in the cost of living. 

Dear Editor, I see dark clouds gathering and hovering like the insidious dust over the town for an impending storm – God forbid – as once again residents are getting the creeps with the chorus of an electricity increase being sung by government officials.

Dear Editor, I had decided not to say anything public about the appalling, though not surprising, politics of the APNU and the AFC over the last few days.

Dear Editor, On Sunday, April 22 at approximately 23:00 hrs, I observed a very disturbing and disgusting sight.

Dear Editor, With respect to the Industry main road between Greater Georgetown and the East Coast which was recently thinly resurfaced with bitumen, though I am grateful for the slight improvement, I am peeved that it was not done to the full satisfaction of the several thousand local residents, taxpayers, pedestrians and drivers who use it at all hours of the day and night.

Dear Editor, The media has fired quite a few salvos at Clement Rohee for his “kicking ass” expression regarding members of the Guyana Police Force.

Dear Editor, Your editorial of April 23 and the news of the unhappiness of ‘Operation Rescue UG’ at the lack of progress reminds me very much of a stage in (West) German history during my lifetime.

Dear Editor, I think AFC leader Mr Khemraj Ramjattan owes the PPP regime an apology.
