Letters to the Editor

Apology and a smile

Dear Editor, Last Sunday, while driving to church, as I approached the junction at Mandela Avenue and the East Bank Highway, one of two young girls who were selling newspapers, attempted to cross the road, causing me to ‘brakes up.’

Young child begs instead of going to school

Dear Editor,                           I cannot escape the daily sight of a desperate and helpless child in need of an education, yet he is joyfully embraced by his mentally challenged mother who daily seeks sympathy from a sometimes hostile public while being exposed to the wrath of the weather.

An interesting statistic

Dear Editor, Having been present at the compilations of all General and Regional Elections since 1992, an interesting statistic is evident – more so after the 2006 and the just concluded 2011 elections.

Our youths have chosen to be positive

Dear Editor, As a citizen of Guyana, I am proud of our youth and I would like all of our adult Guyanese to give thanks and praise to our youth who have let their votes that were cast on November 28 bring back some pride and dignity to the Guyanese people.

The PPP should court the return of Nagamootoo

Dear Editor, The outcome of last week’s general elections in Guyana reminds me of what happened in Trinidad in 2001 as a result of a division in the ruling camp when a party stalwart was not on the party’s list of candidates.

Similarities

Dear Editor, This morning on Canadian National Radio, there was an excellent documentary on the minority outcome of Russia’s recent parliamentary elections, and the unpopularity of Vladimir Putin who until now has been gleefully attempting to stage a comeback.

The new cabinet’s size represents duplication and waste

Dear Editor, Re: ‘Ramotar adds few new faces, ministry to cabinet,‘ (SN, December 6), President Donald Ramotar did say that his cabinet will be comprised entirely of PPP/Civic members, except for the Prime Minister who came in on the new Civic arm in 1992 and Bishop Juan Edghill’s appointment to Minister within the Ministry of Finance.
