Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, The Guyana Police Force is refuting allegations made in the Kaieteur News of Wednesday, June 16, 2010, that a radio communication set has been stolen from a police vehicle attached to the Mahaicony Police Station, which was published in an article under the caption ‘Transmitting set stolen from police vehicle.’

Dear Editor, The next general elections in Guyana will surely test the maturity of the Guyanese people and our electoral systems.

Dear Editor, As we continue to look for solutions to our problems we need to reorganise our thinking process.

Dear Editor, It is both an instructive and exciting development – Newsday’s Business Day of May 27, 2010 reported advertisement of a government ministry in Trinidad and Tobago proposing to hire consultants to conduct a “thorough process of re-engineering of the organisation’s key processes.”

Dear Editor, Please permit me to respond to two very unfortunate, malicious and libellous references to me in my capacity as Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission (Gecom) and to Mr Gocool Boodoo, Chief Election Officer respectively as was published in a letter titled ‘Change for Guyana via the electoral process lies somewhere in the distant future’ in the Kaieteur News of Thursday, June 10, 2010 in the name of Mr Tacuma Ogunseye. 

Dear Editor, Why is the government pushing so hard for the Marriott Hotel project?

Dear Editor, In a letter titled ‘Guyanese need to take back their country’ Mark Benschop narrates the problems confronting African-Guyanese and he is right in some regards, but he also casts blame recklessly and without a frank examination of facts (SN, June 15).

Dear Editor, The PNC leadership has exercised power, has lost power and the likelihood of it being permanently in opposition is very high.

Dear Editor, The Linden Citizens Committee (LCC) salutes Mr Paul Slowe, the Assistant Commissioner of Police for his sterling contribution to the Guyanese nation.

Dear Editor, The policeman who shot Kelvin Fraser made a very serious mistake.

Dear Editor, The Ministry of Home Affairs has noted with deep concern the contents of a recent statement purportedly made by Opposition Leader Robert Corbin and published in one of the daily newspapers headlined ‘Guyana, Jamaica crime situation share similarities.’

Dear Editor, Further to a letter which appeared in the June 15, 2010 edition of Stabroek News captioned ‘Lack of air-conditioning makes Camp Site unbearable,’ we will make the following response.

Dear Editor, The government’s programme on housing is quite commendable and deserves praise, but this programme needs to be more diversified to satisfy the special needs that some persons have.

Dear Editor, There are poor people I know who have family members on remand in prison because they cannot afford to post cash bail and cannot afford a lawyer to approach the High Court for a reduction in bail.

Dear Editor, I am a resident of the new housing scheme at La Parfait Harmonie on the West Bank of Demerara.

Dear Editor, I thank Mr Mohamed Sattaur for speaking to the issues raised in my letters about 98.1 FM and VOG in Stabroek News (‘The 98.1FM signal is available in Berbice and can be accessed on a home radio with a connection to an antenna,’ June 17).

Dear Editor, There have been a lot of expressions in your letter section about a united coalition opposition or ‘big tent,’ but no one has postulated the basis for unity which such a coalition should begin with and hold onto with its every breath.

Dear Editor, After my letter on the Guyana Police Force, a friend sent me an article from the Guyana Chronicle (GC). 

Dear Editor, All uneven/raised pavements should be painted in a bright colour (yellow?)

Dear Editor, We refer to a letter titled, ‘How can a radio listener pick up 102.5FM?’
