Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, Dr Cheddi Jagan‘s PPP has been transformed from a pro-working class party that unites the working class, the peasants (farmers), the progressive intelligentia, the progressive business community and all working people into a petit bourgeois social democratic party.

Dear Editor, Recently, I went on record saying that I would not be voting.

Dear Editor, Mr Sultan Mohamed is perturbed that I referred to the PPP/C as a cult.

Dear Editor, Indiscipline among some senior Berbice cricketers has been rising over the last few months and it was with great satisfaction that I read in the media that the Albion Cricket Club has taken the lead in tackling this sad situation.

Dear Editor, If I had an opportunity to write a letter to the new President of Guyana, I would say the following.

Dear Editor, Another Annual Kashif and Shanghai football extravaganza will dawn upon us at a time when our Golden Jaguars are creating history en route to Brazil for the World Cup.

Dear Editor, December is upon us and even though at the time of writing this letter the results of the general elections are not yet declared, some Guyanese have already started preparing for the upcoming festive season hoping that it will not be ruined.

Dear Editor, Recently the ‘spit press‘ has taken centre stage and caused anxiety in the nation through a series of unsubstantiated rumours which I dare not repeat.

Dear Editor, It is an utter shame and disgrace to the voting population and Guyanese elsewhere to have 24 hours pass and no announcement of substantial results of the 2011 General and Regional Elections.

Dear Editor, I am indeed pleased that Mr Netram at Friendship East Bank Demerara is finding use for plastic bottles and containers, and naturally, since he alone cannot collect plastic bottles etc to feed his pulverising machine, it means others will make some money collecting plastic to sell to him.

Dear Editor, I’m a Lindener, and my main focus is on our education, social and economic situation in Linden town.

Dear Editor, It would be a public service if you could print from the laws of Guyana and from the GECOM procedures the official procedure for managing the ballot papers after the close of poll and the counting of votes at the place of poll. 

Dear Editor, I am a retiree now, but while I was in active employment, I travelled and lived almost throughout the entire coastland and even parts of the hinterland, and because I was obliged to make frequent contacts home during my absence in those days, I had to turn to the Post Office.

Dear Editor, A close relative of mine had to attend the government health clinic yesterday, Wednesday November 30 at Lusignan on the East Coast of Demerara, and to her disappointment and an element of chagrin she was informed by a nearby resident that the Government Health Centre was closed because the workers were afraid to come to work because of the election tension.

Dear Editor, There have been many calls for peace during this election.

Dear Editor, It is never wise to criticize anyone for their shortsightedness in public, even when methodological flaws are involved.

Dear Editor, As a retired UK trade unionist, trying to keep up with what black youth up here call the ‘runnings’ at home, please allow me to comment on Al Creighton’s letter ‘Executive of UG Workers’ Union has not been elected‘ (SN, November 26) First of all, without questioning any of his assertions about the undemocratic nature of the UGWU in general and the alleged illegitimacy of its chief cook and bottle-washer, Freddie Kissoon, I note that Mr Creighton chose to air his longstanding concerns just a few days before the general election.

Dear Editor, Mr Barrington Braithwaite in a letter to SN on November 27 titled ‘Only APNU has the expertise to rescue this nation‘ confirms the attitude of those who form the PNC in APNU, ie that they alone have the solutions to Guyana’s problems.

Dear Editor, It is said that it is not guns which kill people, but people who kill people.

Dear Editor, As I watched my father, Moses Nagamootoo make his final appearance at the Parade Ground and utter his final words of the campaign to the people of Guyana, I could not help but think that he has given it his all; he has made the choices and decisions he had to make to help secure a better Guyana for all.
