Letters to the Editor

Good manners

Dear Editor, During the 2011 budget debate, standing at the Georgetown-Linden bus park just next to the Parliament Building, I made some observations of persons who were driving in and out of the  compound via the back entrance, where there is now a parking area.

People should speak up fearlessly

Dear Editor, It was drawn to my attention yesterday that the Guyana Chronicle reported that Mr Christopher Ram has no moral authority to speak on the matter related to President Jagdeo’s land/house transaction at Pradoville 2.

Unwarranted rhetoric

Dear Editor, Recently, Mr Abu Bakr expressed concerns about former members of ROAR infiltrating the AFC, ‘corrupting’ and ‘adulterating its ideas (Have the ex-ROAR members of the AFC influenced its thinking?’

‘A lovely funeral’

Dear Editor, The attendance at the funeral of the late popular businessman Albert ‘Bolo’ Joseph was undoubtedly one of the largest to date, deserving of being held at the McKenzie Sports Club, which is now seen as the most appropriate venue for the well-attended funerals of popular and outstanding personalities who have served the community well in one way or another.

‘Come to heel’

Dear Editor, Please allow me to gently remind you that as the editor of a prominent newspaper you are on the world stage, in this globalized world.

Some assessments of Chandarpal and Greenidge are unbalanced

Dear Editor, This letter is prompted by my unhappiness and concern at the very unbalanced and derogatory assessments  made of Navin Chandarpal and Carl Greenidge by some commentators in recent weeks and by my perceived need for a more moderate and constructive tone to  public debates in Guyana.

Dear Editor, One reason I heartily support Ian McDonald’s plea for the preservation of the Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) at Bourda as an historical sports, and specifically cricket, site is that it must remain to commemorate not only the history of the game which started to integrate the colonial territories of the West Indies, but also that it has been the nostalgic locus of all the great cricket played by the West Indies and West Indians in this country.

Untruths being spread about the AFC

Dear Editor, It has become most evident that the PPP state apparatus has given the go ahead to spread untruths about the AFC; the special team I suspect, is in full operation.
