Letters to the Editor

World is watching GECOM

Dear Editor, Democracy in Guyana is currently under threat. There is however hope that the pressures brought about by democratic forces locally and internationally could save the day and allow for a duly-elected and democratic government to be installed without delay.

Designed to further frustrate

Dear Editor, The time frame of 156 days or some five months, proposed for the national recount is designed to further frustrate and drag out the election imbroglio.

Earrings pose virus risk

Dear Editor, Given that the coronavirus can stay for days on metal surfaces it is best for everyone to not wear any jewellery especially earrings.

Well done Jerome Khan

Dear Editor, Reflections on recent events. A) Take a self-denying oath of silence on the recount… that’s all you politicians and quasi politicians!

Intransigence over composition of Elections Commission

Dear Editor, Article 160 A (1) of the Constitution of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana provides as follows: “all persons, institutions and political parties are prohibited from taking any action or advancing, disseminating or communicating any idea which may result in racial or ethnic division among the people.”

There is no ‘ethnic majority’ as in the past

Dear Editor, Having read Eric Phillips letter (SN,4/6/2020), I am curious as to what he meant by his statement: “Today, in Guyana, the primary deformity in our social contract lies in a winner-take-all constitution that imposes a ruling `ethnic minority’”.

What more must Permaul do to make the West Indies team?

Dear Editor, As we are all aware West Indies cricket has been in the doldrums for the longest while now, where we are either number eight or nine in the rankings in all three formats of the game and I want to submit that one of the main reasons is because we have never selected the best team to represent us over the years and that includes under the chairmanship of Clyde Butts, Clive Lloyd and Courtney Brown.

Bemused at Court of Appeal ruling

Dear Editor, Listening to the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Dawn Gregory, give her ruminations on the appeal mounted by the APNU+AFC candidate yesterday left me baffled and somewhat bemused on points of law and precedence.

Five-year shelf-life of APNU+AFC has expired

Dear Editor, Cynical and perverse as it may seem, the coalition’s attempts at election rigging and the social, economic and financial impact of COVID-19 combined, spell the death knell for the Granger administration.
