Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, Another Guyanese has lost her life in tragic circumstances on the treacherous roads of Guyana.

Dear Editor, I am encouraged to see that the public discussion on the economic development of Linden has attracted the attention some.

Dear Editor, The findings of a NACTA poll conducted in late November among UNC supporters show  that if the party were to have a free and fair election for control of the  executive, a slate led by incumbent leader Basdeo Panday would be resoundingly  defeated by a slate led by deputy leader Jack Warner or former deputy Ramesh  Maharaj – together dubbed RamJack who have been challenging Panday to hold  internal election over the last year.

Dear Editor, Guyanese would be proud to have one of their own recognized as a Nobel Laureate.

Dear Editor, Our not-so-friendly roads continue to take lives even as this year wraps up.

Dear Editor, A recent front page publication in the Kaieteur News of December 11, 2009 titled ‘Unused $153M De Willem sluice falling apart’ is both mischievous and misleading to the public.

Dear Editor, Turn around, and in the blink of an eye, there is a new business venture on the rise. 

Dear Editor, Professor David Dabydeen is reported in SN of December 10 as saying: “I am acutely aware, from my travels, of how Guyana’s rainforest is associated exclusively with Jonestown, and Guyanese are seen as citizens of a benighted country that experienced the largest mass suicide/killings in modern history.

Dear Editor, I watched on television the official opening of the new state-of-the-art Linden Hospital Complex, which was attended by the President, Prime Minister, ministers of the government, other government officials and foreign representatives, among others, and as expected Linden top functionaries, officers and other invitees.

Dear Editor,The Guyana Police Force is responding to an article published in the Stabroek News of Wednesday, December 09, 2009, under the caption `Woman attempted suicide after police did not respond to rape report’.

Dear Editor, I refer to SN’s article (10.12.09) captioned, ‘Chandarpal no longer presidential advisor’ to offer a few comments.

Dear Editor, In the ‘good old days’ one was put on probation for a period of three months, after which you were either confirmed on the job or you were dismissed.

Dear Editor, I went shopping at Bourda Market the other day, buying the usual fruits, vegetables, etc.

Dear Editor, I refer to the pricing arguments developed by Mr Rajendra Rampersaud in the Stabroek News of November 26, in response to the concerns about the future of the Guyana sugar industry by Tarron Khemraj.

Dear Editor, It has been one week since the BBC aired its ‘Hardtalk’ programme on Thursday, December 3, when President Bharrat Jagdeo was interviewed by Ms Zeinab Badawi in his capacity as Chairman of Caricom.

Dear Editor, From a distance I have followed the struggle for decent wages and improved working conditions of bauxite workers.

Dear Editor, Please permit me to respond to the letter authored by Mr Ronald Harsawack which was published under the title in SN ‘GECOM should have had quality control protocols in place in relation to the photographs on ID cards’ (December 10, 2009).

Dear Editor, The unfortunate fate which met Minister within the Ministry of Education, Ms Desrey Fox and her family a few days ago is very sad.

Dear Editor, On December 13 we will commemorate another death anniversary of our national poet, Martin Carter.

Dear Editor, Perhaps a better theme for this year’s New Amsterdam Town Week celebrations, especially on Saturday and Sunday last, should have been ‘Drink or imbibe in 2009.’
