Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor,If there are any, this is the time for decent gentlemen all over Guyana to form groups to counter the alarming cases of brutality and murder against women by spineless, insecure, very ignorant men.

Dear Editor, Reductions in governmental aid to universities are inducing them to scrutinize their budgets for fluff, with a view to reducing their annual deficits.

Dear Editor, I disagree with Mr CN Sharma’s comment expressing agreement with the government in withdrawing ads from Kaieteur News (‘PSC should look into government refusal to allow extension of CNS TV signal’ SN, August 30). 

Dear Editor, In December 2009 I had written your columns making the observation of how proactive the Trinidad & Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce was. 

Dear Editor, I wish to congratulate the Alliance For Change (AFC) for holding informal discussions with the US State Department on the myriad acts of corruption in the Jagdeo administration, with specific focus on the controversial Amaila Falls Hydroelec-tric Project.

Dear Editor, The letter by Rev Gideon Cecil, ‘Burnham achieved nothing’ (SN, August 10)  has certainly angered many admirers of Burnham; the few writers – Humphrey Charles, Hamilton Green, Barrington Braithwaite, etc, – represent the multitude who still hold the former President in high esteem, and are even more bitter at what the Reverend has penned.

Dear Editor, I received a call on Sep-tember 3 from Anna (name changed to protect the innocent) telling of an incident that happened two weeks ago while I was out of Guyana on vacation (I regret not being here to provide some assistance).

Dear Editor, “What sort of society imprisons mothers for marijuana?” the Stabroek News editorial of August 10 asked.

Dear Editor, Sunday Stabroek carried a most erudite exposition on the case history and related decisions regarding the legality or otherwise of the Agency Shop (‘The Agency Shop was illegal,’ August 29) . 

Dear Editor, I wish to report that five drainage and irrigation workers in Caracas, Vryheid, West Canje, Berbice are not giving value for our taxpayers’ money as several irregularities have been taking place with regard to the execution of their tasks on a daily basis.

Dear Editor, I have read with much interest the tsunami of comment surrounding President Bharrat Jagdeo’s recent visit to Buxton.

Dear Editor, Since the removal of the revenue office from central Mackenzie, to Casuarina Drive and Hibiscus Lane Watooka, I notice a reduction in the number of the security guards.

Dear Editor, I am no fan of President Jagdeo but I have to give him some credit for how he described the media, as I hold the same views as he does where the media are concerned.

Dear Editor, I would strongly suggest to Dr Henry Jeffrey that he slows down his letters to the newspapers because as his outpourings increase, he is going to face further scrutiny from a public that is fully aware that Minister Jeffrey spent 16 years as a minister of government from 1992, and left the Cabinet after a dispute with the President over the signing of the EPA with the European Union.

Dear Editor, In an ideal world we should all be apologising to the PNC.

Dear Editor, I refer to the article, ‘Accused tax evader feared dead after jumping into M’cony River’ published by KN on Tuesday, August 31, with the intention of setting certain facts right.

Dear Editor, There is an increasing sight in the stores in Lethem, especially those selling shoes and clothes, for the price tags to be in Brazilian currency (reais).

Dear Editor, Cheddi Jagan has at least two types of admirers:  some like me, who recognise his essential goodness – his deep humanism, commitment to the working people, openness, friendliness and humour – and believe that his mistakes were made not out of malice but mainly from a misunderstanding of his contextual conditions; and others who not only subscribe to Jagan’s goodness but regard him as a god contrasted with the evil Forbes Burnham.

Dear Editor, According to the findings of the NACTA opinion poll conducted in July, people are most impressed with the performance of Agriculture Minister Robert Persaud while Robeson Benn is disliked the most.

Dear Editor, The recent NCATA poll has once again found that Senior Counsel Mr Ralph Ramkarran is the leading PPP candidate for the presidency.
