Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, I would like to thank one of our elders, Sir Shridath Ramphal for reminding us of the values and principles upon which this nation was built; for God knows that we have strayed, at times, we have even lost our way.

Dear Editor, The statement of President Granger on the afternoon of Saturday March 21 on `Civil violence in the Mahaica-Berbice Region 5’ appeared to be surreal. 

Dear Editor, There is a worldwide war against the coronavirus.  In war a whole range of medals and awards are given for bravery and performance beyond the call of duty.

Dear Editor, We all know, all Guyanese and all of the democratic world which has witnessed the failure of GECOM to deliver credible results that there is only one solution and that is a transparent internationally observed recount of the vote from the ballots currently sealed in containers.

Dear Editor, As the Guyana election drama continues, some political power seekers as well as academics have been calling for power sharing as the way out of the current political crisis.

Dear Editor, Guyana is in a perpetual election/political crisis. The solution is five-pointed and easy a.

Dear Editor, Like many other Guyanese, I have been finding the letters of Mr GHK Lall learned and erudite and entertaining yet, even so, a little troubling in its studied purveying of us the PPP/C as being much the same as the PNCR/APNU+AFC.

Dear Editor, The coronavirus (COVID-19) is a threat to all Guyanese.

Dear Editor, His Excellency, Guyana’s Brigadier – President – did achieve, enjoy and demonstrate a sterling career.

Dear Editor, I read David Granger’s 20th March, 2020 statement and despite the little ray of hope I may have held that he would act in a way that would place country before party so that there would be a sensible resolution to this international embarrassment, the consequence of which will affect all Guyanese, that is now lost.

Dear Editor, I have a simple message to those who present themselves as leaders of the people of Guyana.

Dear Editor, V. S. Naipaul once famously noted, “Where you born, man, you born.”

Dear Editor, I wish to thank Ms Sherlina Nageer for her queries concerning a statement attributed to me last week in your newspaper about measures the Ministry of Public Health can implement to help curb the spread of COVID-19 in Guyana.

Dear Editor, In his weekly columns over the past year in particular, Henry Jeffrey has laid out the pitfalls and challenges inherent in Guyana’s mainly bi-communal society, starkly visible at the time of national elections.

Dear Editor, The ink in my pen has been overflowing on my desk over the past three weeks because I have been resisting the temptation to write on our current political situation.

Dear Editor, In light of the outbreak of COVID-19, no permits are being issued for public dances, parties and other social events, but bars and night clubs continue to operate as normal.

Dear Editor, The US Secretary of State Michael Richard Pompeo needs to immediately implement the consequential sanctions against the individuals who have openly flouted and breached the laws of Guyana to actively undermine the democratic process in order to prevent the winner of Guyana’s General and Regional elections, which were held on March 2, 2020, from leading the Government of Guyana.

Dear Editor, After continuously writing about the lackadaisical attitudes of our leaders as it relates to providing adequate service to us, I was not surprised when I read that the IMF are saying that Guyana is one of the countries least prepared to tackle COVID-19.

Dear Editor, I am prompted to respond to the endeavour to rig the general elections results by the letters of two eminent Guyanese: Joe Singh and Rudy Insanally.

Dear Editor,  For democracy to stand GECOM cannot lose the battle for truth.
