Dear Editor, Martin Luther King Jr, the martyred African American civil rights leader, espoused a fundamental principle that must serve to guide the actions and reactions of citizens of Guyana who seek to usher into our nation’s experience, real democracy, measurable equity and transparency in the distribution of our collective resources, and an end to the dystopian direction in which our nation is currently being driven.

Dear Editor, NCN’s extensive coverage of a vigil held by its workers and sympathizers, followed immediately by a panel discussion on the effects of the budget cuts on the LCDS, is probably the strongest example of how this particular state agency continues to be used as a means of propagating the PPP/C’s political perspective.
