Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, PNCR and Opposition Leader Robert Corbin, who excoriated Mr Harry Gill and me for separate letters we wrote that addressed him, demanded I “produce evidence of the lucrative retirement package that I alleged has been prepared” for him, or  shut up.

Dear Editor, I refer to the article entitled ‘Guyana recognizes Palestine’ (SN, January 14).

Dear Editor, Without taking away from the recognition granted to Mr Ashok Ramsaran by the Government of India (Gov’t of India honours… SN, Jan 10), I wish to note that there are several prominent Guyanese Americans who are far more deserving of the Pravasi Award based on their long-standing service to the Guyanese, Caribbean and Indian diasporas as well as building relations with their ancestral homeland of India.

Dear Editor, Our city is fast becoming a ‘boom’ town – not like the old west of the United States when they struck oil.

Dear Editor, The Stabroek News editorials are among the best I read for a newspaper anywhere in the world. 

Dear Editor, This is my third letter re the dangerous hole in McDougall Street, Kitty, and I am sure by now that you are fed up with me.

Dear Editor, We, the parents of Sheema Mangar, are thankful to be given this public opportunity to share with you our feelings, concerns and perspectives on the brutal slaying of our daughter on September 14, 2010, at the hands of a callous criminal – just for the sake of her cell phone.

Dear Editor, Bish Panday ought to be elected as the President of the Guyana Cricket Board at the end of this month.

Dear Editor, I don’t trust them, I don’t like them and I couldn’t care less about them, but you must give credit where and when credit’s due.

Dear Editor, At last the Leader of the PNCR has finally plucked up the courage to respond to one of my letters using his name (‘Political objective was to serve notice to President Jagdeo and PPP that PNCR was aware of their plans’ SN, January 12). 

Dear Editor, Firstly, I thank Claude Raphael for his forthright views on the candidates for the upcoming elections as it is not often that people would publicly provide such candid views, particularly when he may be close ‘buddies’ with them all (‘Bissoondyal Singh is the best person to succeed Chetram Singh as President of the Guyana Cricket Board’ SN, January 10).

Dear Editor, Someone asked, ‘What’s in a name?’ A name can be misleading sometimes.

Dear Editor, The designation of 2011 as the Year of People of African Descent is a significant reminder of both the tremendous contributions of Africans to world civilization and the challenges African communities across the world continue to face in the socio-economic political and cultural spheres.

Dear Editor, I refer to SN story of January 12, ‘Secret balloting poses danger – Jagdeo,’ where it was reported, “President Bharrat Jagdeo on Monday warned that using a secret balloting process to decide on the PPP’s next presidential candidate could be dangerous as candidate hopefuls could promise persons things in order to get their votes.”

Dear Editor, Well, well, well, Forbes Burnham and the Jagans would be immensely proud.

Dear Editor, In spite of him being unfairly caricaturized as a demolition man, I have to admire Minister Robeson Benn’s proceeding in his conviction of doing the right things.

Dear Editor, This campaign excites me, but I should declare my bias up front; that is, I am a supporter of Dr Harding to become the PNCR presidential candidate.

Dear Editor, With reference to the letter ‘The Leader of the Opposition does not have a special retirement package,’ (SN, January 11) by B Beniprashad Rayman, PNCR Executive Member, please permit me to put this ostensibly contentious issue in proper perspective.

Dear Editor, I refer to a letter from one Harry Gill, under the caption, ‘Corbin must produce all evidence to save whatever credibility he has left,’ printed in the January 11, issue of Kaieteur News.

Dear Editor, What are the Mayor and Town Council of New Amsterdam really doing with the taxes of the town?
