Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, I am no legal person not even so trained.

Dear Editor, This is in response to the SN letter of June 24 last, written by Desmond Trotman, government-nominated GECOM Commissioner and WPA member, in which he stresses, amongst other things, that he is not party to a course of rigging the March 2020 elections especially as he was appointed by President Granger, also leader of APNU, shortly after the WPA (which allied itself to the PNC to form APNU) publicly stated it would not condone election rigging; this timing somehow transposes the WPA position to that of the President. 

Dear Editor, Based on what transpired in the last twenty-four hours in Guyana, a few points must be made: It is now trite that GECOM’s extensive adjournments and late hour meetings facilitate further mischief and delay.

Dear Editor, Help & Shelter offers its solidarity and support to Akola Thompson and the other women who have courageously come forward to expose the domestic abuse they suffered at the hands of Ruel Johnson.

Dear Editor, Keith Lowenfield yesterday received a fourth request to submit the “fit and proper” report for the March 2 Elections.

Dear Editor, While some people seem to be comfortable with the decision of Gecom’s Chair to set aside Lowenfield’s Elections Report   of July 11, 2020 which shows the PNCR coalition with a one-seat lead over the PPP/C, others continue to be apprehensive and express disenchantment over the protracted delay in the declaration of the winner.

Dear Editor, I enter again where even heroes hesitate to go.

Dear Editor, I seek your indulgence by way of this very short letter to ask the Mayor of the City of Georgetown, Ubraj Narine to please look into having the drains in Prashad Nagar desilted.

Dear Editor, Guyanese cannot fail to acknowledge, much less underestimate, the seriousness of the political quandary created by caretaker President Granger and the coalition he leads.

Dear Editor, As provided for under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the protection and promotion of a free, independent, and diverse media in all forms is crucial to the functioning of inclusive, peaceful, and democratic societies across the world.

Dear Editor, The CEO of GECOM is possibly the best at fabrications and outright falsifications.

Dear Editor, While claiming to be “all for CARICOM”, Raphael Trotman, Chairman of the AFC has told member states of CARICOM to mind their own business and allow Guyana to solve what he refers to as a “constitutional crisis”.

Dear Editor, All over America, millions of people been have marching, chanting the slogan “Black Lives Matter” in recent weeks.

Dear Editor, “Judgement! thou art fled to brutish beasts and men have lost their reason,” from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, aptly describes the words, conduct and thoughts of those who believe they can steal the next Government.

Dear Editor, Reading the column ‘Lowenfield’s weird mumbo jumbo’ (SN July 12) with explanations, I got clearer clarity what was sought from the Chair.
