Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, In light of events since the election, I am asking a legitimate question on the minds of many Guyanese: who is really in charge of Guyana, Mr Ramotar or Mr Jagdeo? 

Dear Editor, I have researched and written extensively on this tragic Amaila Falls hydroelectric project fiasco that remains a harsh reminder of the scandal-tainted, incompetent and mismanaging deeds of the PPP administration.

Dear Editor, Now that the criminal charges against the three former managers of NBS have been dismissed, as a former director of the NBS Board, I think that justice and decency require that I state publically that at no time did the NBS Board contemplate that Maurice Arjoon, Kent Vincent, or Kissoon Baldeo were criminally or otherwise involved in the fraudulent withdrawal of funds from a member’s account.

Dear Editor, Regarding your publication of my letter on January 24, 2012 (‘A completely different take on Bhattachary’s book’), I am aware that SN cannot publish in full all the brutal language that Rahul Bhattacharya reports in his book The Sly Company of People who Care.

Dear Editor, I would like to thank Dr Ian McDonald for his letter (‘Headley should be ahead of Bradman,’ SN, January 25) in response of my letter of January 22.

Dear Editor, And finally they did it. They feel comfortable enough to do it.

Dear Editor, I join in condemning the termination of Mr Freddie Kissoon’s contract by the University of Guyana. 

Dear Editor, I see there is another softball tournament being sponsored to tune of some $30,000,000.

Dear Editor, Everywhere you turn in Guyana, advantage is being taken of our helpless citizens with little condemnation from those who are supposed to help.

Dear Editor, I am aware of a television programme which featured Minister Norman Whittaker and Mr Keith Burrowes on the National Communications Network over the weekend.

Dear Editor, In a news item of Jan 19, Kaieteur News reported that the Ministry of Agriculture’s Artificial Insemination Laboratory project has attracted two bids for the supply, delivery and installation of lab equipment.

Dear Editor, I am pleased that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has vouchsafed the results of tests on the water quality of the affected part of the Haieka River and has volunteered information on the possible investigation into fish deaths in other communities.

Dear Editor, A recent letter:  ‘The Minister of Education is in a position to reverse the downward spiral in education”, (SN, January 20), together with SN’s editorial (January 24), are invaluable contributions to the current discussion regarding the nation’s expectations of the new Minister of Education. 

Dear Editor, Approximately six years ago a group of former workers of Colonial Life Insurance Company (Trinidad) Limited had cause to place before the court a matter pertaining to the non-payment of pension monies.

Dear Editor, I refer to a letter written by Mr Rampersaud Tiwari which was published in Stabroek News on Saturday, January, 21 (‘MV Malali amd MV Torani were built during Jagan’s government not Burnham’s’). 

Dear Editor, The theme of the ‘fate of the elderly’ is infinite and inconclusive but needs to be discussed because of its great importance. 

Dear Editor, The termination of Mr Freddie Kissoon’s contract at UG is regrettable.

Dear Editor, President Ramotar insists that he wants to deal with corruption “head-on” and now we get Mr Robert Persaud‘s “no tolerance” intervention, when we were told by all of them that there was no corruption  at all.

Dear Editor, It is no secret that the PPP under Dr Jagan declared the Burnham-PNC constitution illegal when undesirable changes were implemented.

Dear Editor, I have read a number of letters and reviews in SN of Rahul Bhattacharya’s book, The Sly Company of People who Care, and have wondered each time whether I had read the same book since I came away from my reading with a completely different take.
