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.
Dear Editor,
The collective intelligence of the Guyanese populace has been consistently insulted by the continuous reckless and vulgar display of unprofessional and insensitive statements and actions emanating from the GECOM Secretariat.
Dear Editor,
The GECOM position that it would take 156 days to count the ballots would be laughable if the situation in Guyana was not so grim.
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.
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.
Dear Editor,
I was so sorry when I learnt of the passing of Veteran Trade Unionist and Politician, Komal Chand.
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!
Dear Editor,
The last thing I would want to do is spread inappropriate alarms and frighten further an already reeling and vulnerable population; at, least the ones that care enough to be concerned about COVID-19 developments.
Dear Editor,
My name is Aarti Dowlath. I am a Physics teacher at the secondary school level in Trinidad.
Dear Editor,
Even though my cousin, Jimmy Bacchus, made a quiet exit from this transient life, he has not left us.
Dear Editor,
I wish to respond to articles in the press on a recent statement from the Private Sector Commission (PSC) ‘Private sector opposes total national recount…’.
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.”
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’”.
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.
Dear Editor,
I hereby address the Citizens of Georgetown which stretches from the Eccles/Agricola Dam to the Industry Crown Dam.
Dear Editor,
Guyana is on the abyss of two huge, maybe existential, crises; one man made, one made by nature.
Dear Editor,
When I was Minister of Health, I engaged the private sector every time we had to respond to public health challenges.
Dear Editor,
This letter constitutes a sincere plea for sanity and justice to prevail in our beloved but beleaguered Guyana.
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.
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.
