Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, On November 7, 2010 on Channel 7, Eye on the Issues had as its guest Mr Peter Ramsaroop. 

Dear Editor, The government can spend $40 million on a race track, but can’t spend $10 million on old age pensioners.

Dear Editor, These days as we prepare to embrace Christmas, happiness is predicated upon consumption and the only virtuous activity is material enrichment.

Dear Editor, With this belated reply I am fortunately able to answer both Jorge Bowen-Forbes’ first letter (Guyana Chronicle October 22), and his second (‘An enjoyable show with confusing results’ Stabroek News November 6), re “a recently judged competition” at the National Gallery – this being our 8th Biennial National Drawing Competition – his recent effort containing even more outrageous inaccuracies of ‘fact’ than the first.

Dear Editor, On reading your news story, ‘Fraudulent Gecom $25M contract creates uproar at PAC,’ (November 10), I couldn’t help getting the impression that there may be a concerted effort to push back the 2011 elections. 

Dear Editor, I wish to reply to a notice published in the Stabroek News (November 8) and Kaieteur News sent by the Guyana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (GSPCA).

Dear Editor, I would like to respond to some points made in a letter by M Maxwell published in SN under the title ‘Both the PNC and PPP belong in the same boat’ (November 11).

Dear Editor, I am disappointed at some of the unfair criticism made by Joey Jagan towards the Pegasus Hotel and am equally disheartened by the response from the hotel.

Dear Editor, The Commander of ‘B’ Division, Mr Stephen Merai lambasted Dave’s Television Station Channel Eight last week during a press conference about the deaths on the No 19 Public Road.

Dear Editor, I am in sympathy with Mr Pretipaul Jaigobin, Assistant Treasurer of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) who suffered at the hands of some wicked persons.

Dear Editor, I worked with the Guysuco, Blairmont Estate as a mechanic for over 37 years.

Dear Editor, If Hydar Ally (‘The PPP and PNC cannot be placed in the same category’ SN, November 2) had taken the time to pay attention to what I said in my letter, it is clear that I placed both the PNC and the PPP in the same category.

Dear Editor, I first met Lionel Peters in July 1990 when as a little boy I went to Freedom House and asked to join the PYO.

Dear Editor, The prevalence of compensation being offered after crimes have been committed has become totally unacceptable, and our laws are being flouted with impunity.

Dear Editor, Stabroek News has a remarkable record in defending whatever vestige of democracy is left in Guyana.

Dear Editor,The first report on deforestation rates produced under Guyana’s MRVS presents the results of a series of assessments that concludes on a number of important areas including total forest cover within the agreed Marrakech Accord definition ranges, historical deforestation assessment across three time periods (1990-1999, 2000-2004, and 2005 to September 30, 2009), and deforestation assessment across various drivers of change, that together derive a total deforestation rate which allows for reference to be made, to an agreed level, between Guyana and Norway under the current agreement.

Dear Editor, For many years now, I have frequented the Pegasus Hotel with my family, and in recent times the service has become more and more deplorable.

Dear Editor, On reflection it appears that my letter to Stabroek News of November 4 needed some expansion of the organisation management principles to which it referred (‘Some important lessons for the delegation of authority and matching responsibility and accountability’).

Dear Editor, The October 2010 Guyana Review featured a question and answer interview with noted businessman Robert Badal, and it struck me that the exercise was obviously mutually self-serving.

Dear Editor,Incoming Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, a colourful candidate with a revolutionary background who suffered jail and torture at the hands of her military captors, defeated her rival Jose Serra on the performance of the Brazilian economy.
