Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, It was instructive to see from SN’s December 18 edition, the management of the Linden Hospital Complex speaking up in relation to its referrals to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.

Dear Editor, I am accompanied by a radio all day long and get really mad when the reception is bad, nonsense is played for songs, programmes that do not interest me are aired or the station is down, as is the case now for a number of hours.

Dear Editor, I wish to refer to an article in the Stabroek News under the caption ‘Arau wants land settled before low carbon decision –Toshao’ in its issue of Thursday, November 18, 2010.

Dear Editor, The Christmas season is here, the year is coming to the end, and the administration of Region 1 continues to run the region as if it is a comedy show.

Dear Editor, The current group  of sugar workers have made and continue to make contributions to Guyana, but it does more harm than good when those contributions are misrepresented, especially given the fact that persons are generally au fait with the struggles and political intricacies of sugar from slavery to now.

Dear Editor, President Jagdeo visited Buxton on Monday for the second time during his 12 years as President of Guyana.

Dear Editor, Whatever happened to the much talked about the National Teachers Awards Ceremony and Teacher of the Year Award?

Dear Editor, Can the city council say why it is that they are allowing this homeless person to create this unsightly mess between Fogarty’s and Muneshwer’s in the heart of the city?

Dear Editor, I would like to commend President Jagdeo’s administration for the support given to E-networks in its expansion programme.

Dear Editor, My public comments on the works of Mr Mark Benschop in another time and place are not hidden.

Dear Editor, It seems as if we are being held to ransom by the utility companies in Guyana.

Dear Editor, President Jagdeo believes the PPP’s ‘support’ for Amerindian communities will translate into votes.

Dear Editor, I write to applaud Guyanese community leaders, the Indo-Caribbean Federation, District Leader Dr Taj Rajkumar, Vishnu Mahadeo and other advocates in Richmond Hill, Queens, for hosting a wonderful, entertainment-packed holiday luncheon for senior citizens last Saturday at Villa Russo catering hall in the heart of the community. 

Dear Editor, The Christmas holidays are here and there will be hustle and bustle as citizens go about their usual shopping for this festive occasion.

Dear Editor, The threat by the state-owned Guyana Sugar Corporation (Guysuco) to de-recognise the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers’ Union (GAWU) is intemperate and reckless.

Dear Editor, The recent controversy over the procedure adopted for compiling the nominations for presidential candidates by North American PNCR groups provides another opportunity to look into the prism of internal democracy in the PNCR.

Dear Editor, Stabroek Business reported that an anonymous “source close to the telecommunications sector” has advised that government should take seriously the position that granting an operating licence to an illegal operator would amount to rewarding it for illegality (‘Gov’t should ponder GT&T concern over draft law – telecoms source’ SN, December 17). 

Dear Editor, The rights of citizens to live and work in the region is under threat, and this is evident in the Guyana Government and Caricom denying Carl Greenidge the right to express his opinion at a private function as to how the country of his birth is being managed, yet at the same time Caricom did not raise a voice when more than two hundred young men were executed by phantom squads.

Dear Editor, In a SN article of Dec. 16, it was reported that Agriculture Minister Persaud has temporarily halted excavation of the Hope Canal because of adverse weather which he claimed threatened the integrity of the excavators and/or excavation.

Dear Editor, Devanand Bhagwan’s letter captioned ‘When should we cross the line in defying the law’ (SN, December 18) takes a disingenuous look at the issue involving Mark Benschop and the consequence of his protest over that environmentally health hazardous garbage dumpsite situated in a particular community in Georgetown.
