Dear Editor,
Now that the pantomime to the great leader has come and gone and we are no better off it is time for the Bishop and his merry band to give the nation a financial report highlighting the major donors, so that we will be convinced that no funds came from the over-burdened taxpayers.
Dear Editor,
I would like to say thanks to all those who sponsor athletics, but ask them to please stop disrespecting the elders – I mean those aged 50 to 55.
Dear Editor,
The Hindu youths of Tain Settlement, Port Mourant, celebrated fifty years as an organization at a ceremony in Jamaica, New York.
Dear Editor,
It’s funny how with the passing years events, stories and experiences that were puzzling and somewhat nebulous and were accepted without examination, become clearer and brighter when looked back upon with a more critical and thoughtful eye.
Dear Editor,
What do our visitors to Guyana think of our taxi drivers and many motor vehicle drivers, who exhibit the minimum of road courtesy, when it comes to the use of their horns?
Dear Editor,
I have been following for some time now the discourse among politicians and members of the public on the progress, or lack thereof, Guyana has made over the past 19 years under the PPP/C administration.
Dear Editor,
It would be remiss of me not to express my appreciation to the Guyana Power and Light linesmen and crew which finally restored power to residents in the Anna Regina area.
Dear Editor,
Mr Persaud makes a number of erroneous assumptions about me and my intentions for writing to criticise the way the US conducts foreign policy and how it processes visa applications in Guyana (The US Embassy is fair with applicants’ SN, September 20).
Dear Editor,
The US Embassy cable of June 2007 is a humdinger, a big one.
Dear Editor,
Contrary to what the PPP/C would like the Guyanese people to believe about their performance at the upcoming elections as seen in their bogus polls, the likelihood of them being voted out of office this year is a real possibility.
Dear Editor,
Recently, I would have seen in one of the dailies that the Ministry of Works and IDB are conducting a feasibility study on the Linden-Lethem road.
Dear Editor,
Two months ago, the residents of Kwakwani were invited to an historic event, being the signing of a contract valued $83M to upgrade their water treatment plant and pipe network.
Dear Editor,
Guyana Power and Light on September 8 planted two high voltage electrical cables over my premises at Lot 1, Hydronie, Parika East Bank Essequibo in order to supply a housing scheme with electricity.
Dear Editor,
“Let the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts/ Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight.”
Dear Editor,
The government’s Request for Proposals in early 2010 for the building of the access road to the Amaila Falls hydropower dam site called for an all-weather road for heavy traffic; 85 km of road rehabilitation; 110 km of new road; the whole 195 km of road, 20 metres wide, surfaced with a white-sand-clay base 300 mm thick topped by 150 mm of laterite, the whole compacted to 95 proctor; HDPE culverts, bridges and river-crossing pontoons capable of bearing 100 tonne loads, 20 tonnes per axle; 65 km x 100 metres wide completely cleared right-of-way for

Dear Editor,
With reference to the letter ‘US embassy officials accept and draw conclusions from any rumour presented to them’ (SN, September 18), it appears that the writer, Mr Urling, is misguided and has some dislike for the US Embassy in Georgetown and the US government.
Dear Editor,
The philistines are running amuck in my country. They are, true to form, simply enjoying a spurious opportunity lambasting the government, more especially the stalwart President Bharrat Jagdeo.
Dear Editor,
So we have had it, the staged show to chaperone the champion of poverty on his way out, while at the same time making it clear that his successor will ensure that he remains very much in command if (and this is a big if), the Guyanese people make that historical mistake of ever voting for the PPP again.
Dear Editor,
Recently I read of an accident that took place on the access road leading to Mocha Arcadia.
Dear Editor,
The Guyanese information networks are overloaded with an avalanche of propaganda attempting to portray Bharrat Jagdeo as an omnipotent and benevolent leader and head of state in Guyana, Caricom and the globe.
