Dear Editor, On December 3, 2011, Donald Ramotar was sworn in as President of Guyana.

Dear Editor, One would thinks that in this age of enlightenment, the major political leaders (eg, PNC and PPP) of Guyana like the populace would embrace higher education and the benefits which accrue from such endeavours.

Dear Editor, It is a well known fact that Berbicians do not have many avenues for recreation and leisure, and  that is one of the main reasons for the high rate of alcoholism and suicide in Region Six. 

Dear Editor, When a sugar factory runs out of cane the factory operations don’t just stop, notwithstanding the fact that no more cane is being ground, and therefore no more bagasse is being produced.

Dear Editor, President Ramotar’s accusation that the opposition political parties were involved in rigging the November 2011 elections was a precursor for what occurred in parliament on Thursday, February 16, and has to be seen as a calculated tactic by the government to hold the society hostage.

Dear Editor, The Ministry of Labour has been kind enough to offer guidance on the status of the contract of employment during periods of industrial action.

Dear Editor, We refer to your letter captioned ‘The NBS Board never regarded Arjoon, Vincent and Kissoon as having been involved in fraud‘ written by Mr David Yhann and published on January 27, 2012.

Dear Editor, It would have been easy to dismiss the recent controversy erupting from President Ramotar’s characterisation of the APNU behaviour at polling places during the last elections, as it would have been similarly simple to entirely dismiss APNU’s marching and demonstrating after the polls and its declarations of suspicion levelled against the PPP/Civic.

Dear Editor, For years now I have known people to be at the Stabroek Market gates facing Demico House asking almost everyone who passes if they have gold and silver or anything else to sell.

Dear Editor, No right minded Guyanese believes the rubbish that emanated from the mouth of President Ramotar in which he claimed that the combined opposition manipulated the election results.
