Letters to the Editor

Contacting the Guyana Legal Aid Clinic

Dear Editor, In response to two articles that have appeared recently in the daily newspapers, the Guyana Legal Aid Clinic writes to clarify the scope and locations of legal aid services provided by it.

Predecessor government abused the nation’s purse

Dear Editor, As your paper reported, Ministers are encountering bloated payrolls under the previous regime for no-show jobs costing taxpayers billions of dollars annually while sugar workers and Amerindians were terminated from productive employment and rice farmers could not get promised prices.

The lower levels of public servants

Dear Editor, If one reads and interprets correctly, there appears to be an inordinate rush to terminate ‘contracts’ of those senior public servants identified (however hastily) as ‘Political appointees’.

Unconsionable

Dear Editor, A good life perspective: put seven thousand workers, their families and communities on the breadline, then dole out allegedly, half a million dollars monthly in salary, perks and other benefits to one of your own.

Decision to seek technical aid on Payara is commendable

Dear Editor, President Ali’s decision to seek technical assistance to review the Payara project is most commendable, and is a good sign that our new government would listen to the voice of Guyanese stakeholders concerned and invested in making sure our oil wealth is to the benefit of Guyanese first.
