Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, Editor, the November 28 general elections are now ahead.

Dear Editor, I take this opportunity to express profound gratitude and appreciation to our Minister of Foreign Affairs Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett for initiating and facilitating the bilateral agreement between the Government of Guyana and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for immigration officials from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to visit Georgetown, Guyana during October, 2011 to issue Hajj visas for all Guyanese who will be performing the obligatory Islamic rituals of Hajj in Mecca, Saudi Arabia during November, 2011.

Dear Editor, As you are aware, Guyana experimented with two diametrically opposed development paradigms after gaining political independence in 1966.

Dear Editor, Both Kaieteur News (in KN 25th October, `Changing alliances and voter shift’) and Stabroek News (in Sunday Stabroek 30th October, `Re-alignment’) have editorialized on the “re-alignments, coalitions, annexions and defections” (SN’s words) that have taken place most dramatically in recent weeks.

Dear Editor, In Guyana, election campaigns are in full heat, and Guyanese must ‘Beware, the vultures are here.”

Dear Editor, With respect to Roger Luncheon’s letter in SN on October 26 (‘Ever increasing numbers of Afro-Guyanese are imbued with the vision of the PPP/C administration’) I would have liked him to explain what PPP vision he is referring to that can inspire Afro-Guyanese.

Dear Editor, I’m sure Nigel Hughes knows that in Guyana today there is a price to pay for being a cut above the ordinary, professionally successful, fearless, outspoken and well liked across ethnic, political and socio-economic lines.

Dear Editor,   I consider it necessary to draw attention to the ongoing allegations of corrupt behaviour among the ranks of Guyana’s police officers.

Dear Editor, A tracking opinion poll conducted by the North American Caribbean Teachers Association last week to determine popular support for the political parties in Guyana’s general elections showed the incumbent PPP/C leading the opposition parties. 

Dear Editor, I refer to the long letter from Gail Teixeira in the SN of October 27, titled ‘There is a rich history of religious leaders’ involvement in the struggle for democracy…‘ I have four observations: 1.
