Dear Editor,
Happy New Year to all. I have noted the letter by Minister Robert Persaud (SN, 1.1.2010) and his attempt to shed further light on some of the issues I have previously raised as it relates to Guyana’s LCDS.
Dear Editor,
It is quite ironic to watch how a decent group started by many decent people like the late Minister Sash Sawh has now turned into a basic tool of the PPP/C, namely, the Association for Concerned Guyanese (ACG) based in Toronto Canada.
Dear Editor,
We at the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission read Fidel A Captain’s letter in your December 30, 2009 edition and shared the feeling of great elation that the Guyana Gold and Diamond Miners Association had called on the gold miners to meet and exceed the target of 300,000 ounces of gold for 2009.
Dear Editor,
In direct response to a letter, ‘The majority of articles have recognized Guyana’s pioneering work in forging climate change,’ (SN, January 1), written by Mr Robert Persaud, Agriculture Minister with responsibility for Forestry, let me say he has not persuaded me, even if he has persuaded others, that Guyana’s climate change crusade has anything to do with preserving Guyana’s largely virgin forests as much as it has to do with his President trying to get his hands on big and easy money.
Dear Editor,
I refer to Randy Persaud’s ‘There is reason for government writers publishing responses in the independent dailies if these have been the vehicles for criticisms’ (SN, 1.1.10).
Dear Editor,
I read your report where “The authorities are continuing to monitor the effects of spring tides…” (December 31, 2009).
Dear Editor,
The modern world is different, we are told. Communications, ever freer travel, information technology and the imperative of climate change are creating a global consciousness in forging a global solution.
Dear Editor,
In looking to 2010, Business Page predicted that the 2010 Budget speech would make the economy’s decline of the first half year of 2009 into a full year growth.
Dear Editor,
Happy New Year to the staff of Stabroek News.
Dear Editor,Annan Boodram’s’ letter of December 31 in Stabroek News critiques and calls for an end to the “us” versus “them” mentality.
Dear Editor,
The government is setting out a proposal that miners be given six months’ notice prior to commencing mining.
Dear Editor,
Annan Boodram, in a letter published in your December 31 edition, makes several points that bring a useful contribution to the discussions about our national history of the recent past.
Dear Editor,
I was recently asked by a national columnist to explain why is it that I publish letters in the independent dailies, (taken to be) Kaieteur News and Stabroek News.
Dear Editor,
First, I think Mr Michael Tannassee meant criticism and not condemnation (‘Condemn-ations should be accompanied by solutions,’ SN, December 29) when he referenced letter writer, Mr GHK Lall’s often erudite analyses of the issues confronting Guyanese at home.
Dear Editor,
There have been numerous articles in the media on the Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS); the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Norway; Guyana’s participation in the Climate change agenda internationally, inclusive of Copenhagen; and the advantages/disadvantages of the outcomes of these meetings to Guyana.
Dear Editor,
Press reports have made the public aware of the threat of a bauxite company owned by RUSAL of Russia and the Government of Guyana to scrap a Collective Labour Agreement between it and the Bauxite and General Workers Union.
Dear Editor,
I would like to wish you and your staff a prosperous and productive new year.
Dear Editor,
I would like to start 2010 on a positive note, through giving recognition to where it is due.
Dear Editor,
Anyone following Ravi Dev’s series of articles on revisionism with an open mind cannot help but conclude that, for once, a columnist/analyst has been able to stitch together an almost objective rendering of the practice of politics in Guyana.
Dear Editor,
On Monday, December 28, I went to a store in Commerce Street to make a purchase.
