Letters to the Editor

No post-election coalition can be formed to seize the presidency

Dear Editor, According to the Guyana Constitu-tion, Title 4, The President, Article 177 (2): “A Presidential candidate shall be deemed to have been elected as President and shall be so declared by the Chairman of the Elections Commission –– (a) if he is the only Presidential candidate at the election; or (b)where there are two or more Presidential candidates, if more votes are cast in favour of the list in which he is designated as Presidential candidate than in favour of any other list.”

I attended the India Day parade as a reporter

Dear Editor, Mr. Seelochan Beharry, an AFC candidate for parliament and a former member of the PPP who fell out with that party, in a letter captioned,  `Bisram and the PPP’ (SN Nov 6) noted my presence at the India Day Parade  2011 along with that of representatives of the Guyana government and invited me to “offer some rational explanation …”.

Donald Ramotar cannot be compared to Cheddi Jagan

Dear Editor, Reading his letter titled ‘Like Dr Jagan, Ramotar is unpretentious and modest‘ (SN, November 5), I seriously wondered how Cheddi Berret Jagan II could commit this travesty of associating Cheddi Jagan with Donald Ramotar.

Bisram and the PPP

Dear Editor, At the last India Day parade in New York, representatives of the Guyana government and the PPP were there.

Bureau of Statistics staff waiting for President to approve their pensions

Dear Editor, I would first of all like to quote from Michael Maxwell’s letter to KN headed ‘8% public servant pay increase is not what it seems,’ in which he states “… Jagdeo will retire like an Emperor with his ridiculous pension, gardener, cook, secretary, security guards, use of state motor vehicles, free travel the world over and more…” Mr Jagdeo’s need for employment may be redundant after such a magnanimous financial endowment.

PNCR leader not on list

Dear Editor, I wish to correct an inaccuracy published in your today’s issue (Thursday, November 3, 2011), under the caption, ‘Ronald Bulkan, Charles Ceres on APNU Slate.’

Afrikan sisters should dance on

Dear Editor, Afrikans are a gravely misunderstood people and it is understandable why anyone who has not got rid of the brainwashing education would misunderstand even Afrikan enthusiasm.

Could GT&T not extend its talent search?

Dear Editor, Within the borders of this country there is more talent than is recognized, but there are fewer opportunities than most other countries where talent is not a challenge to those in authority but expertise to be nurtured for the goal of all.

Will soon put an end to speculation

Dear Editor, I would like to declare that I will soon be putting an end to the seemingly unending speculation as to the party I will be supporting in the upcoming elections.
