Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, This is an open letter to all of the secondary schools in Region 10, where as Chair-man of the Regional Educa-tion Committee of Region 10 and Regional Chairman, I write to place on record the sincere congratulations of the Regional Democratic Council of Region 10 to those students who would have turned in exemplary performances at the CXC-CSEC examinations this year.

Dear Editor, This is a deal using rice to pay off a US$160 million debt to Venezuela.

Dear Editor, Kindly permit me to express profound gratitude to Christopher Ram for a very revealing interview with Mr Robert Corbin on Sunday evening. 

Dear Editor, I have just returned to New York after a three-week vacation in my homeland, Guyana.

Dear Editor, An opinion survey conducted in July by the North American Caribbean Teachers Association (NACTA) showed former Chairman of the opposition PNC, Winston Murray, as the front runner to lead a coalition of opposition forces under a ‘big tent,’ should it materialize to challenge the PPP in next year’s general elections.

Dear Editor, Burying past mistakes with deception and distortion in today’s social environment smacks of political opportunism and a proclivity to historical revisionism of our contemporary political history as is seen in Henry Jeffrey’s missive in the Stabroek News (August 28), captioned ‘The traditional PPP historiography is fundamentally flawed.’

Dear Editor, Firstly, I am in agreement with the step that government has taken to withdraw advertising from the Kaieteur News by advertising on a website.

Dear Editor, This country sickens me to the core. The level of waste, corruption,mismanagement and inefficiency that surrounds this nation is staggering.

Dear Editor, Since micro-management has been the order of the day in Guyana, it is no wonder the Minister of Education is comfortable in the role of announcer of exam results and which student is first and which school second.

Dear Editor, I was passing in Hadfield Street the other day and could not help noticing how a part of it had been ‘nice up,’ so to speak, in memory of the late Dr Walter Rodney.

Dear Editor, Do you believe GT&T? Last Thursday morning, I paid $10,000 for my DSL Internet Bill at the New Amsterdam commercial office.

Dear Editor, An opinion survey conducted in July by the North American Caribbean Teachers Association (NACTA) has shown President Bharrat Jagdeo with high approval rating with people expressing strong disapproval for most of the members of his government.

Dear Editor, Government is reported to be distributing 350 ten-acre plots in the Pomeroon River for the growing of non-traditional crops as part of its Grow More/Diversification programmes (‘4,500 acres opened to flood-weary Essequibo farmers,’ SN, August 26). 

Dear Editor, Your report ‘Pitbulls maul, disfigure plumber’ refers (SN, August 27). 

Dear Editor, I have to give it to the President and to the PPP.

Dear Editor, The United Force wishes to congratulate President Jagdeo on his interaction with the people of Buxton over the last few weeks. 

Dear Editor Since my initial statement in the wake of President Jagdeo’s visit to Buxton there has understandably been a vigorous discussion in the media.

Dear Editor, It is not without significance that almost three years ago, the Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, Mr Baldwin Spencer, in his feature address to the fifth Triennial Delegates’ Conference of the GLU, advocated, “Guyana should legislate for Agency Shop.”

Dear Editor, The move by government towards solely web-based advertising for goods and services is commendable and ill-conceived at the same time.
