Letters to the Editor

A financial report on the ‘Appreciation’ should be provided

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.

Looking with a more critical eye

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.

Power restored to Anna Regina

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.

‘Erroneous assumptions’

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). 

‘A dismal performance by the PPP/C’

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.

High voltage cables over house lot

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.

The Auditor General should investigate payments under the Synergy contract

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 the transmission line; all to be completed within eight months/240 days from contract effectiveness date.

The US Embassy is fair with applicants

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.

What legacy?

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.
