Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor,  This year marks the centenary of the final termination of Indentureship contracts, affecting thousands of Indians in the Caribbean and elsewhere.

Dear Editor, It was bizarre to watch PNC strongman Joseph Harmon whining about electoral fraud while still embracing Mingo, the architect of the post election debacle.

Dear Editor, The GAWU’s attention was drawn to a social media post as it related to two  workers who recently lost their jobs after they apparently raised questions related to their employment status at a meeting of a well-known company engaged in the oil sector.

Dear Editor, The claim by George Gomes, Lieutenant Colonel (retired) and President, Guyana Veterans Legions, in his letter `Votes by Disciplined Services personnel’, Stabroek News, May 30, 2020, is cause for concern and points to the need for GECOM to take a proactive stand in countering such falsehoods being perpetuated which, if not addressed now, could have serious consequences should the PPP be declared the winner of the elections after the recount is over.

Dear Editor, I am surprised, if not saddened by the strong statement made by the EU Ambassador Fernando Ponz-Canto.

Dear Editor, I join with fellow students, teachers, and institutions around the Caribbean and share the view that CSEC and CAPE examinations should not be held in July.

Dear Editor, The main thoroughfare leading into the small hamlet of Chateau Margot on the East Coast of Demerara is in a deplorable state.

Dear Editor, As a part of our ‘Dream Guyana Campaign’ my ‘Ad hoc Group of Professionals’ would like to  recommend a team to facilitate discussions on a shared governance approach between President David Granger and the Leader of the Opposition, former President Bharrat Jagdeo.

Dear Editor, GECOM is probably the only constitutional body in Guyana that is truly bipartisan, at least for now, with equal representation from the two parliamentary political parties.

Dear Editor, Any sane person who followed the international news recently on television and saw the video footage of the policeman kneeling on the neck of a handcuffed man, resulting in the eventual death of the arrested man, aught to be appalled.

Dear Editor, Christopher Ram’s missive of 31st May asked “What is the statistical probability of not one of these 9,589 persons detecting a single one of the many thousands who according to Harmon, Norton and Williams committed impersonation on March 2, 2020?”

Dear Editor, As the national recount exercise continues to reveal the irrefutable and crude fraud perpetrated by Clairmont Mingo, in respect of the elections results for Electoral District number four and continues to corroborate the accuracy of the Statements of Poll, made public by the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C), the desperation of APNU+AFC proportionately increases.

Dear Editor, The Oil and Gas sector is large and often individuals forget about the gas component of this sector.

Dear Editor, Claudette Singh, GECOM Chair has now confirmed a statement by APNU+AFC’s GECOM commissioner Vincent Alexander reported in the media on Saturday May 30.

Dear Editor, As Guyana shares a strong and vital link with the United States of America, it behoves me to respectfully use this medium to catch the attention of the US  ambassador to Guyana, Her Excellency Ms.

Dear Editor, By 4th March, 2020, APNU intimated that they had won the election.

Dear Editor, As matters now stand, ninety days after the March 2020 elections, the wish of the Granger-led APNU+AFC is that Claudette Singh will deliver to it a victory denied by the electorate.

Dear Editor, We have written on COVID-19 related matters to share information with your readers on issues of concern with this global pandemic.

Dear Editor, The Giftland Mall has viewed the recent statement by the Mayor of Georgetown with alarm and considers his comments disingenuous, it is important to note that within the last three months that both the Giftland Mall and its Chairman have moved from “Entrepreneurs Extraordinaire” and the largest single private sector social development project in Guyana, providing significant economic development and employing thousands gainfully, with a strong social conscience, champion of the poor and community ties, to “a delinquent puppet of the opposition, a greedy and corrupt entity and a  bankrupt and tax delinquent company”.

Dear Editor, This is the legacy of Justice Claudette Singh SC CCH, the most consequential judge in the history of Guyana’s elections both at the judiciary and the administrative level of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM).
