Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, I am a diehard supporter of the PPP like many other Guyanese but when those at the top make statements and do things to hurt us it is time someone alert the hierarchy of the PPP/C to their shortcomings.

Dear Editor, In the field of human endeavour there are always winners and losers, that’s just how it is, and in the elections just concluded there will be winners and some among us will lose.

Dear Editor, At the press briefing on December 1 to announce the results of the 2011 national and regional elections, the chairman of Gecom mentioned that Gecom had been ready for the local government elections when they were postponed yet again by the government. 

Dear Editor, In other circumstances, a simple parliamentary manoeuvre would have resolved the PPP’s problem.

Dear Editor, A lack of an overall government majority in Parliament, is the best thing that could have happened, as it forces otherwise myopic tribal politicians, to work together, and results in a more ethnically representative and informed reality.

Dear Editor, Why are we always finding some people sawing at sawdust?

ear Editor, At its post election press conference on Friday, September 2, the Private Sector Commission (PSC) Chairman Ramesh Dookhoo stated that he was not in favour of power-sharing/shared governance in Guyana.

Dear Editor, The declaration of the preliminary results of the November 28, 2011 general and regional elections by the Chief Elections Officer brings to a close an unfortunate period of unease and angst in the population, which was precipitated by the inordinate three-day delay in the announcement of the results.

Dear Editor, With minority government the stage is now set for Guyana to move speedily into a new political era.

Dear Editor, I must congratulate Mr Khemraj Ramjattan, the leadership of the Alliance for Change and the passionate supporters for securing a significant 10.3% of total votes cast as declared by the Guyana Elections Commission.

Dear Editor, In a recent statement released at the end of emergency talks on Syria, the head of the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu called upon the regime of President Bashar al-Assad to “respond to the decisions of the Arab League, to stop the use of unnecessary force” on its own citizens.

Dear Editor, 475,496 registered to vote in 2011. 346,717 or 72.9% showed up to vote.

Dear Editor, The leaders of the three political parties have met to discuss the way forward.

Dear Editor, In the light of a minority government being elected to office, I believe this indicates a rejection of Bharrat Jagdeo’s policies, and I think it is fair to conclude that many had contempt for him and felt that there was a lot of sleaze under his watch.

Dear Editor, Now that the elections are over, it is fitting to extend congratulations to our next President-elect, Donald Ramotar.

Dear Editor, APNU and AFC together should call for an independent judicial enquiry headed by a senior judge to be convened immediately to investigate electoral irregularities, including the following, and ensure that errors are corrected.

Dear Editor, Some sixty-six hours after polls closed on November 28, Gecom finally managed to produce the final results of how 342,236 Guyanese voted.

Dear Editor, Having just read Robert Persaud’s comments on the reason for the PPP’s showing at the election being poorer than they expected, I could not help but exclaim, “What arrogance!“

Dear Editor, Once again, it was left to the sometimes lone rapid response critic Frederick Kissoon, and later David Hinds on Channels 9 and 6 to respond to another egregious display of arrogance from the ex-President of the Republic at his press conference on Wednesday.

Dear Editor, The most enlightened beings throughout history told us to love others.
