Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, I condemn the senseless and gruesome murder of two teenage boys – Isaiah Henry and Joel Henry, in West Coast Berbice.

Dear Editor, In a letter published on March 10, 2020, I requested in the most neutral language possible investigation and documentation of reports in the media of incidents at various places on March 6, 2020. 

Dear Editor, The murder of the two young boys has sent shockwaves around the nation and in the diaspora.

Dear Editor, In Stabroek News of 2020.09.07, under the bold headline, `APNU+AFC has not said how much of US$18m signing bonus spent on border controversy fees’, Hon Anil Nandlall, the incumbent Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, is quoted as saying “I don’t know if any other sums were paid, as there were no parliamentary sitting for over one year and one half and monies were being spent unlawfully, without any parliamentary approval.”

Dear Editor, As the highway between Linden and Lethem takes centre stage given the expressed Brazilian re-committal to its completion, it caused me to revisit a published letter in September 2006. 

Dear Editor, Some may say that when one is dead the body no longer matters, so its final “resting place” shouldn’t.

Dear Editor, Instead of appealing to residents for peace and calm in the aftermath of the heinous murders of the teens it seems stoking and inciting and promoting strife is the preferred message for some.

Dear Editor, I refer to the very comprehensive coverage of a meeting I had with the Guyana Bar Association in an article published on page 14 and continued on page 21 of yesterday’s Sunday Stabroek, which bore the bold caption, “Convicted Registrar of Deeds expected to resume duties”.

Dear Editor, It is quite clear that if the Guyana sugar industry is managed efficiently using a new production model it can become prosperous again with significant contribution to the economy and the workers and their families who work in the industry, uplifting their socio-economic status in the communities that they live.

Dear Editor, I was  elated to learn that Minister of Agriculture, Zulfikar Mustapha  graced Black Bush Polder with his presence.

Dear Editor, As I continue to build my house in Guyana, I continue to learn new things.

Dear Editor, I refer to the mega-project proposed for the Mahaica/Mahaicony area.

Dear Editor, It has been reported that approval of ExxonMobil’s Payara Development Project seems closer to fruition, as Minister of Natural Resources Vickram Bharrat has confirmed that a draft licence is being discussed.

Dear Editor, I am singularly amazed that so many people, some even within my academic circle, still cling tenaciously to the idea that sugar should be resuscitated and maintained as the backbone of Guyana’s economy.

Dear Editor, The official COVID-19 death rate in Guyana now stands at 47 with four deaths within the last 24 hours.

Dear Editor, I observe with disbelief the people moving, positions realigning, and consciences adjusting. 

Dear Editor, Much has been said concerning the backlog of the tests for the virus.

Dear Editor, The Guyana Police Force has taken note of a letter published in yesterday’s edition of Stabroek News dated 5th September, 2020, under the caption `Authorities should look into the detention of these 15 men at Mahdia’, which suggests racial discrimination and abuse of authority. 

Dear Editor, Guyanese, more particularly our Amerindian brothers and sisters, mark September as “Amerindian Heritage Month.”

Dear Editor, With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic a number of issues have come to the fore.
